Ali & Ramyar

Kathmandu, Ali & Ramyar

In Iran, the curtain shields the home from the eyes of others, much as the hijab does. Windows connect inside and outside: through them we see and are seen. In Kathmandu, Ali & Ramyar quietly watch the daily lives of others from behind these windows, as another way of looking at their own. Between the fear of being watched and the pleasure of watching, the series tells the story of a closure: the wish for a clear answer where everything remains uncertain.
