During the summer preceding Soheila Sokhanvari’s solo exhibition “Rebel Rebel” at the Barbican Centre, Kristin Hjellegjerde Gallery commissioned Jflemay to create a 1-metre version of the 3-metre star featuring in the exhibition. Soheila and Jean-François collaborated once more to deliver this portable replica.
A work of art combining Jean-François’ technical artistry and Soheila’s vision, the star shifts from a glowing jewel to a reflective, almost opaque polyhedron. It is lit inside by a digital projection of Iran’s female movie stars between 1936 and 1979.
