The Enigmatic Fringe of Existence (2017-2019) — Nazli Abbaspour
something so haunting about this collection. abbaspour uses different photography techniques to layer old family photographs over abandoned buildings and desolate interiors to capture an imagined nostalgia of the house's former lives.

Still Life (2015) — Sahar Makhtari
"We all are part of our own still life; an assembled scene which has own actors: us! as an incapable tools in a limited box. Since I figured this reality out, I’ve got a tension and stress that changed my life."

Repetition (2019) -- Ghazaleh Hedayat
this is the second stage of a three-piece progression where hedayat carves away at a self portrait with fine scratches. i cant find the direct quote but she said this was a form of self-discovery and transcendence, an attempt to go beyond her body and face her own mortality as a gradual process.

No Man's Land (2016) -- Hoda Amin
this is also from a series but i cant find any of the other pictures online. in the series, amin captures the many different people that pass on the street below her window. i love people watching and capturing the exact moment when someone or something enters a specific space so this was really satisfying to me. maybe a photography experiment to try myself!

from Auto-Photo: A Life in Photos -- Alan Adler
Alan Adler was an analog photobooth technician more than half a century in melbourne. he would take a photo (or a couple) during each visit, ultimately documenting his life along the way. Christopher Sutherland, who now takes care of some of Adler's booths, says about the photos: “I still find them now, wedged inside machines, because they were such a perfect medium to fold and use as a spacer or to screw in a part or something. I am forever finding Alan – he’s physically part of the machines.”
