One Image, Two Acts examines the photographic and film archives of British Petroleum during its operations in Iran, Iraq, and Kuwait to unravel BP’s widespread construction of cinemas in the oil towns of South-Western Iran. It follows the transformation of this emergent image economy in contouring the nationalization movement and the Iranian anticolonial cinema between 1950-1980 and traces the media infrastructures through which oil has operated as an agent of power in the colonial episteme.
