Sophie Sabet
Though I am Silent, I Shake (2018) Sabet has asked her mother to revisit the story of a painting exhibition she was part of in 1990 in Tehran, Iran, ten years after the Islamic Revolution. The video employs long-take fixed frames that encourage slow-looking and contemplation. Sabet captures an intimate conversation between mother and daughter regarding diverging and overlapping ideas of womanhood, the body, and familial relationships.
