Gohar Dashti

titled, Today's Life and War

Contemporary Iranian Photographer, lives and works in Iran

Dashti shows a multitude of photographs in this series that as a whole depict the complex relationship between the daily experiences and the internal psychic experiences of a young Iranian couple. She is exploring the persistence of trauma that is ever present in post War Iran. Instead of suggesting that the couple lives in a war zone, Dashti uses battlefield imagery imposing onto images of the domestic environment to heighten the representation of the trauma that results from the violence of war. It shows a unique perspective, one often disregarded in the media imagery that constructs many of our misinterpretations about contemporary Iran.

Hanna Liden.....images of blown out candles

i love the simplicity in these, when i first saw them they were small and i thought they were a weird digital abstraction, once i made them bigger i realised what they were, but that initial reaction still holds, except for the weird digital part....
