SEARCH, THERE'S MORE.
Where I’m calling from
“These photos are something similar to individual memories, to me, a part of my life, or perhaps are a search for some kind of poetry of life.” In the words of Mohammadreza Mirzaei, a young photographer in Tehran, there’s the whole simplicity and the immediacy of a pure expressive urgency, perfectly in line with the spontaneous manner in which the series “Rewind” was created. Shots which are almost intimate visions, personal notes, and gifts sent in time to a beloved distant friend who “was optimistically thinking that photography can be a way of living or meeting things.” Along with many interiors and details of an everyday life made with common objects and small gestures of affection, even the city of Tehran is told almost in a low voice, thanks to portraits that seem to transcend the urban scale and resize to a private measure, almost domestic, even when the eye flees away on the horizon through wider skies and larger spaces without apparent borders.
