"Butchered Bodies"
Tirdad Hashemi, The collapse of years of hiding,(Transbodies), 2025, Acrylique sur toile, Acrylic on canvas, 189 x 255 cm, 74 3/8 x 100 3/8 inches,(THa008)
Galerie Christophe Gaillard is delighted to present for the first time the work of Tirdad Hashemi and Soufia Erfanian, Iranian artists currently in residence at the Fondation Pinault Lens. These two exhibitions are the result of their first months of research and creation at the Foundation, and offer an intimate and poignant look at experiences of transformation, isolation and memory.
Tirdad Hashemi takes over the main la galerie space with Butchered Bodies, a series of paintings in which trans bodies appear in a state of suspension, between becoming and dissolution. Marked by solitude, desire and resistance, these bodies are neither fixed nor victims, but entities in mutation, claiming their presence through an existence that oscillates between visibility and erasure. Hashemi explores isolation not as absence, but as a site of identity construction, where being is constantly shattered and rebuilt, where flesh expresses itself without permission and demands to exist.
Solo show of Tirdad Hashemi
From May 15th to June 21st, 2025
