Life and nothing more

“After the 1990 earthquake in northern Iran, I photographed Rudbar and the surrounding area. A year later, Abbas Kiarostami used my photographs to prepare his film And Life Goes On, and asked me to photograph the shoot. I lived with him and his crew for two months. Here, each work is not a single frozen instant but a sequence of frames from a moving scene, linking what came before to what comes after. I am not a film photographer.”
