An art history and archaeology graduate of the University of Paris, Shirin Aliabadi is an interdisciplinary artist based in Tehran.
Aliabadi’s work includes Girls In Cars was a series of enlarged snapshots of Tehran girls stuck in traffic, clearly made-up to go to parties, and Hybrid Girl, a series of highly polished studio shots of hip young Iranian girls posing with telephones, lolly-pops and other props, wearing colored contact lenses, platinum blond hair and vibrant chadors.
Aliabadi explores the cracks that are created within monolithic socially oppressive systems by the emergence of small subcultures, specifically within Tehran.
