Jinoos Taghizadeh
Letters I Never Wrote: Arg Alishah

Letter I Never Wrote is still one of the most powerful series of Taghizadeh. This is a series of stamps reflecting on a variety of issues that the artist finds important and critical to be discussed and seen by the public, which is also hidden and not talked about enough by the Iranian government. From extremely political issues such as the chain murderers of intellectuals and politicians in Iran to environmental changes and archeological decadence of historical heritage, Taghizadeh is using one of the most popular form of circulation for information and communication to put these issues on top of them.

Jinoos Taghizadeh uses a variety of media including painting, collage, video and performance and deals with the problematic construction of collective identities in contemporary Iran.
