Digital Photography, Political / Social, Mixed technique, 170x70cm
My work is autobiographic and very influenced by my childhood in Teheran/Iran during the Iran-Irak-War.
The social "bond" between "Individuals" (child-parents, man-woman...) in a surrealistic-no-rules-everyday's-warzone-life and the following social integration of two-culture-mixed-grownup "individuals" in our western-society is one of my main interests.
A lot of my projects, especially the combinations of my photographs (e.g. like a triptichon) are based on a Theory called "Kuleshov Effect".
It describes the total change of a meaning of a whole video-sequence only by replacing a single fragment of it.
So you can also change, in photography, in a sequence of photographs, the meaning of an already viewed photo only by the successive one.
I blur faces, objects... in my photographs to avoid one of the main objectives of "photography"... replicating reality,... I build my own reality... like in surrealism (painting) everything is going to become more "object"... objects for creating an own world. As a photographer I'm not an observer, I'm more an collector of fragments which I put together in a new, in my, context... to communicate.
