Chargoosh (Foursquare)

Chargoosh, “foursquare” in Persian, refers to the square frame through which we now see the world on our phone screens. Mobile phones and Instagram have made photography available to everyone and changed the way images are taken, shared and seen.

Like street photography in the twentieth century, which captured everyday life without posing, mobile photography records daily life with ease and immediacy. This exhibition presents it as a new chapter in the history of photography.
