Babak Kazemi The Exit of Farhad and Shirin100 x 70cm. 2012
Nizami Ganjavi (1141 – 1209)Farhad Carries Shirin and her Dead Horse on his Shoulders 17th century ADThe Walters Art Museum in Baltimore
In The Exit of Farhad and Shirin, Babak Kazemi often references the traditional representation of Farhad and Shirin on Bisitun Mountain. Over time, these iconic star-crossed lovers have come to symbolize all lovers doomed to separation, much like Romeo and Juliet. In his reworking of the tradition, Babak replaces Shirin’s horse with a bicycle, signifying his modern interpretation of the story and its contemporary relevance. In addition, he substitutes various couples in the roles of Farhad and Shirin.
