The group exhibition Only the morning bird treasures the flower garden, which takes its title from a poem by 14th century Persian poet Hafiz, includes photographs, videos, and other works by more than twenty Iranian artists on the theme of flowers.

Nearly a decade after it was conceived, this project is now in a different and distant context, location and historical moment, which also changes its implication. The exhibition could be considered document of an unrealized project. Considering the geopolitics of the origin and destination, the flowers, one might say, are caught between a rock and a hard place.
