"Parvaneh Farid's audio-visual piece, Looking Like a God,
provokes all senses. Inside an unlit cubic room hangs,
drapes of black tulle, partially concealing a few manikins
dressed in Eastern costume.
The show begins with a recitation of the first few verses
of the book of Genesis before 1940s wartime music
is played.
During this images of women through the ages are
projected on to the many layers of netting.
They range from Marilyn Monroe to traditionally-dressed
Muslim women...
The piece is about East meeting West and the cultural
influences faced by eastern women who live in the West.
