A Report for D’Arcy, Babak Kazemi

A solo exhibition of Babak Kazemi’s series addressed to William Knox D’Arcy, the British investor who founded Iran’s oil industry without ever visiting its oil fields. Photographed over nine years on the oil platforms of Khuzestan, the series combines portraits and landscapes to show the working and living conditions of the industry’s employees.
