Inside Out, Hawar Amini

Our view of the world is shaped from before birth by what surrounds us, yet it is our own judgment that defines who we are. Seeing clearly means freeing ourselves from inherited beliefs, fears and prejudices.

Hawar Amini combines old Iranian negatives from the 1940s with images of today. Salah Ebrahimi presents portraits taken from behind, interspersed with frames that people wear in society today. Together, their works show how a photograph, challenged by another image, can become a distorted reflection.
