Iranian-American artist Morehshin Allahyari explores the rich history of Middle-Eastern astronomy in a new CGI film at London’s V&A. Presented alongside archival material, Speculations on Capture (2024) expands on the fragmentary stories of astronomical instruments made in Iran and Pakistan (1200s–1700s) and now held at the V&A. Allahyari “deliberately combines fact and fiction to speculate on the encounters that have been lost, the knowledge that has been diverted and the cultural histories rendered inaccessible.”
