In her confrontational and oftentimes humorous photography series “Medium of Exchange,” Sheida Soleimani examines power, exploitation, and oil in works that feature queer models wearing masks of Western leaders and ministers of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC). In vibrant solo and group portraits, figures pose with money- and oil-related props and engage in various activities suggestive of corruption. The images to be shown here display Soleimani’s unique ability to unite scathing political commentary and comedy by way of art.
