The Sign for the OrientThe photographic self-portraits of Shirin Neshat in which she appears in the role of a "veiled" Muslim woman, often with a gun, and with parts of her body covered with written text invoke well-known media clichés of Oriental culture and their established, although not necessarily unambiguous, meaning.1 In the Middle East, the image of a covered woman is one of the most ubiquitous signs for contemporary Islamic fundamentalist societies.
