Bride

An installation at a deserted textile factory in Yazd, Iran. A factory that until recently manufactured fabric for people and their homes but was shut down as a result of mass imports from China. In hopes of finding light, we follow a long lace terrain from the courtyard to the warehouse in the back of the factory. But we are presented with a shocking scene: a bride has hanged herself using her own hair as a noose.
