Every first of May, as people around the world take to the streets to commemorate labor struggles, members of France’s Front National party (FN) converge at the base of a gilded Frémiet statue near the Louvre for their own counter-celebration. The monument, which depicts national heroine Joan of Arc, was commissioned by Napoleon in 1874 to bolster morale following a crushing defeat in the Franco-Prussian war. Joan is shown on horseback, holding aloft a flag and armored for battle. Her image has come to be appropriated by the far right as a patriot who was martyred as she fought to defend her country against foreign intervention: a perfect symbolic confluence, in short, of the xenophobic nativism that the party of Marine Le Pen traffics in today.

While collaborating with Neshat on a wealth of film and video projects, Azari created experimental and art house films, including an adaptation of Franz Kafka’s work, called K (2000) and a series of short films, Windows (2005). Windows premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival, bringing him into the public eye. Azari and Neshat’s film Women Without Men won the Silver Lion for best director at the 2009 Venice Film Festival. Azari has since developed a style of “video paintings” that combine media to pr
