B. 1999 Sabzevar, Iran

Hannaneh Heydari (B. 1999) works predominantly with the medium of photography. For her, the camera is an equipment not only to capture the outside reality but also a tool for self-exploration. In her photographs, the camera’s gaze penetrates the unknowns, and the flashlights overcome the fears. In her photographic series for the exhibition, composed of multiple flash-lighted subjects and landscapes, the artist mediates the subject of subconscious fear and suggests the potency of flashing a light as a metaphor for overcoming it. Her works here point to the exhibition’s probe of how dogged environments can alter our dialectic sense of being.
