Kajeh Mehrizi

Queering the haj. A man recollects a moment (was it any longer than that?) in the aptly named city of Mecca. A conversation ensues in the crowd. The touch of language. Framing shots by luminous shooter Taravat Khalili. Commissioned by LIFT for the Jacques Madvo project.

When farm pig Wilbur learns he is being raised for slaughter, barn spider Charlotte writes messages in her web to convince the farmer to let him live.
