About the artists:
Masar Sohail (1982) is a Danish-Iraqi visual artist and filmmaker who lives and works in Copenhagen. He is educated from The Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in 2009 and is has created a number of art films being screened at Kunsthalle Mannheim (DE), ARKEN (DK), Øregaard Museum (DK), the 13th Dubai International Film Festival (AE) and the Gothenburg International Film Festival ( SEE) to name a few.
In 2018, Sohail’s work The Republic of T.M. (2016) was exhibited at Kunstmuseum Bonn (DE), where it won the Dorothea von Stetten Art Award. In 2020, The National Galley of Denmark purchased a work by Sohail, now part of their permanent collection.
Masar Sohail works with video, painting and graphics concerning questions of identity and alienation. The focal point is often social, cultural and ideological communities set against religion and nature. Using video and film as the primary media, Sohail challenges the prevailing political discourse and seeks to suspend the fixed and alienating positions we create when categorizing each other. His works often have a humorous and satirical nature and challenge the relationship between fiction and reality. They also draw on recognizable references from popular culture and subcultures hence mirroring the film industry’s representations of masculinity, power and desire.

The Fury
For VAF 2023 Viborg Kunsthal proudly presents the European premiere of The Fury – an exhibition consisting of a two-channel video installation and a never-before-seen 360 video by highly acclaimed Iranian artist Shirin Neshat.
International video artist Shirin Neshat has roots in two cultures: the Iranian, which she left at a very young age, and the American, having formed the physical framework of her life. Her new work, The Fury, consists of a Virtual Reality work produced for Viborg Kunsthal in collaboration with Khora Contemporary and The Animation Workshop. The work is presented as part of the Viborg Animation Festival 2023.
The Fury is a chaotic and fantastic mix of cinematic real time, flashbacks and dream visions, where Neshat uses music and dance to process and convey the trauma of the protagonist. The work depicts an Iranian woman obsessively dancing an erotic dance to beautiful Persian music in the privacy of her small apartment and out onto the streets of New York. The more she dances, the more she falls into a trance, as if there were nothing between her body and the music.
The work explores how VR can expand and amplify the characteristically exotic, breathtaking, and at the same time completely unfreezing imagery characterizing Neshat’s works. Neshat’s cinematic works often contain a desire to involve the viewer both physically and emotionally, and the new VR work further contributes to this.

The Fury
For VAF 2023 Viborg Kunsthal proudly presents the European premiere of The Fury – an exhibition consisting of a two-channel video installation and a never-before-seen 360 video by highly acclaimed Iranian artist Shirin Neshat.
International video artist Shirin Neshat has roots in two cultures: the Iranian, which she left at a very young age, and the American, having formed the physical framework of her life. Her new work, The Fury, consists of a Virtual Reality work produced for Viborg Kunsthal in collaboration with Khora Contemporary and The Animation Workshop. The work is presented as part of the Viborg Animation Festival 2023.
The Fury is a chaotic and fantastic mix of cinematic real time, flashbacks and dream visions, where Neshat uses music and dance to process and convey the trauma of the protagonist. The work depicts an Iranian woman obsessively dancing an erotic dance to beautiful Persian music in the privacy of her small apartment and out onto the streets of New York. The more she dances, the more she falls into a trance, as if there were nothing between her body and the music.
The work explores how VR can expand and amplify the characteristically exotic, breathtaking, and at the same time completely unfreezing imagery characterizing Neshat’s works. Neshat’s cinematic works often contain a desire to involve the viewer both physically and emotionally, and the new VR work further contributes to this.

About the artists:
Masar Sohail (1982) is a Danish-Iraqi visual artist and filmmaker who lives and works in Copenhagen. He is educated from The Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in 2009 and is has created a number of art films being screened at Kunsthalle Mannheim (DE), ARKEN (DK), Øregaard Museum (DK), the 13th Dubai International Film Festival (AE) and the Gothenburg International Film Festival ( SEE) to name a few.
In 2018, Sohail’s work The Republic of T.M. (2016) was exhibited at Kunstmuseum Bonn (DE), where it won the Dorothea von Stetten Art Award. In 2020, The National Galley of Denmark purchased a work by Sohail, now part of their permanent collection.
Masar Sohail works with video, painting and graphics concerning questions of identity and alienation. The focal point is often social, cultural and ideological communities set against religion and nature. Using video and film as the primary media, Sohail challenges the prevailing political discourse and seeks to suspend the fixed and alienating positions we create when categorizing each other. His works often have a humorous and satirical nature and challenge the relationship between fiction and reality. They also draw on recognizable references from popular culture and subcultures hence mirroring the film industry’s representations of masculinity, power and desire.

The Fury
For VAF 2023 Viborg Kunsthal proudly presents the European premiere of The Fury – an exhibition consisting of a two-channel video installation and a never-before-seen 360 video by highly acclaimed Iranian artist Shirin Neshat.
International video artist Shirin Neshat has roots in two cultures: the Iranian, which she left at a very young age, and the American, having formed the physical framework of her life. Her new work, The Fury, consists of a Virtual Reality work produced for Viborg Kunsthal in collaboration with Khora Contemporary and The Animation Workshop. The work is presented as part of the Viborg Animation Festival 2023.
The Fury is a chaotic and fantastic mix of cinematic real time, flashbacks and dream visions, where Neshat uses music and dance to process and convey the trauma of the protagonist. The work depicts an Iranian woman obsessively dancing an erotic dance to beautiful Persian music in the privacy of her small apartment and out onto the streets of New York. The more she dances, the more she falls into a trance, as if there were nothing between her body and the music.
The work explores how VR can expand and amplify the characteristically exotic, breathtaking, and at the same time completely unfreezing imagery characterizing Neshat’s works. Neshat’s cinematic works often contain a desire to involve the viewer both physically and emotionally, and the new VR work further contributes to this.
