Flashes of Persia

A visual poetry based on the fascination from Persian ornaments, architecture and landscape. "Flashes of Persia" partly consists of excerpts from "Theatre of Tears" (2007), a documentary made in cooperation with Beate Petersen, with support from Billedkunstnernes Vederlagsfond, Arts Council Norway and Freedom of Expression Foundation. "Flashes of Persia" has recently won a Norwegian "Rederiforbunds" prize under the 120-th "Hostutstillingen 2007" in Oslo.
