Shirin Neshat is a contemporary visual artist who lives in New York. She is known primarily for her work in film, video, and photography.

Her work refers to the social, cultural and religious codes of Muslim societies, and the complexity of certain oppositions, such as man and woman. Neshat often emphasizes this theme with the technique of showing two or more coordinated films concurrently, creating stark visual contrasts through such motifs as light and dark, black and white, male and female.
