"Interference" evokes the communications of a couple which has been forcefully estranged. The triptych remembers a specific moment in the 1980s, after Soleimani’s father had fled Iran, but before her mother could join him. At first, she was in solitary confinement. Eventually, the regime freed her from prison, surveilling her, hoping that she would lure her husband back into the country. Every communication between them was dangerous. Still, they found ways around it: the snake is a pathfinder, and his skin is wrapped around the telephone line. She lied to her jailers, faked a divorce; her family kept contact alive with the fugitive; a network of friends allowed them to speak regularly, switching between different connections each time. The lovers are separated, but between them a sour orange branch blooms. Still, the wiretap was always just one step behind. Looming in the foreground, a pruning knife threatens the fragile blossom.
