Talk:Natascha Sadr Haghighian

Are we sure this is a real person?
This article makes for extremely weird reading, with muiltiple different citations for dates and places of birth and gender of this alleged individual. Unfortunately all the citations refer back to works of art supposedly cvreated by this individual. Also, the sentence "Given that any reference information on any media platform concerning Haghighian has been appropriated from the bioswop project, the only externally verifiable fact concerning Haghighian and his/her/their artistic output in this Wikipedia entry is that her two-channel video projection Empire of the Senseless Part II (2006) is in the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art." makes extremely weird reading. The article takes a very strident point of view on the Leopard tank mentioned, which does not appear to be shared by anyone else.

The most economical reason I can think of for this is that this "person" is the figment of the imagination of some other artist, presumably her "spokeswoman" Helene Duldung, brobably as some joke or ironic comment on art or information repositoruies such as Wikipedia. Perhaps the bioswop project removed her biography because they rumbled her and no longer wished to participate? What is the best way to proceed here?

Pretty sure she isn't "that name is actually a pseudonym adopted by the relentlessly shape-shifting artist Natascha Sadr Haghighian". I doubt Natascha Sadr Haghighian exists either. But Helene Duldung has cropped up again. Do we want this running joke to be on Wikipedia? MegaSloth (talk) 12:15, 10 December 2018 (UTC)


 * We cover whatever reliable, secondary sources cover, but if there is no significant coverage beyond the Frieze article, the info in this article might be better addressed within an existing article. (not watching, please )  czar  16:43, 27 May 2019 (UTC)
