The images of the "Wind and the Rain" series feature photographs taken through obscure, rain-soaked car windscreens. In these images, trees, mountains, buildings and vehicles appear as crude outlines, distorted and fragmented by the opacity of the glass pane. By obscuring the landscape, Kiarostami highlights the subjectivity of perception; the opinions we form on reality and our understanding of the world ultimately rest on our idiosyncratic sensual apprehensions, faculties which can often obscure and deceive. By presenting us with a blurred, indefinite depiction, Kiarostami emphasises the notion that often are most confident existential assertions are mere illusions caused by the fallibility of our senses.
