Résumé

Games of Desire is a wonderfully illustrated volume that takes readers on a journey through Neshat's latest exhibition, in which she examines the global construction of identity. In this work, Neshat examines the all-but-forgotten tradition of courtship singing of the people of Luang Prabang in Laos, offering insight into the boundaries between the sexes. Featuring video stills and full-colour photographs, Games of Desire turns this beautiful and evocative, yet fading tradition into a work of art for the present.
