Pamenar

Pamenar is a historic neighbourhood in southern Tehran. Walking through an area once considered the heart of old Tehran, I saw forms and colours appear on doors, walls and passageways, leading me to empty spaces that, more than anything, connected me to a ‘past and present’. The radical transformations that made Pamenar what it is today are part of a history that meets the eye at an angle, in its strange incongruity.

Pamenar is part of an ongoing series on cityscapes of Iran. The photographs were taken over two years, on holidays.
