Ocula has recently published a report by Mohammad Salemy on 10th Berlin Biennale in which Sam Samiee's The Unfinished Copernican Revolution (2018) is on show. Click here to read it in full.
From the articel: "At ZK/U, a signature 'spatial painting' by Sam Samiee takes up two rooms. Inspired by Jean Laplanche, The Unfinished Copernican Revolution (2018) is a synthesis of European visual aesthetics and adab-aPersian tradition of ethics and aesthetics extending from Iran's pre-Islamic period via Manichaeism, which Samiee traces through to contemporary works of Iranian cinema by the likes of Forough Farrokhzad and Abbas Kiarostami"
