“I don’t know what Shahryar’s work is about— thank god! It seems to be that getting it or understanding it is beside the point. It doesn’t work like that. It’s not work that you’ve got to interpret.” — Hamza Walker
“Nashat leads his viewers to an understanding of the mechanics of being human, but stops short of arrival; it is up to us to traverse (or revel in) that uneasy gap.” — Simon Castets and Elena Filipovic
“A choreographed spectacle of protein and prosthesis.” — Jordan Carter.
