The article discusses the meta-aesthetic dimension of Abbas Kiarostami’s work. It contains the analysis of some film sequences in which the Iranian filmmaker offers a reflection on his representational device and its conditions of possibility. The analysis stresses Kiarostami’s dialogue with Western artistic tradition, as one can see in some shots that rework formal patterns of the spatial iconography of the Annunciation (a recurring theme in Italian Renaissance painting), as well as in the central discussions of the film Certified Copy (Copie conforme, 2010), which concern the status of copy and mimesis in the value system of Western art.Downloads
