The Pendulum Between Desire and Gloom Tahmineh Sherafat
2022
This collection includes 6 series of at least 22 photos printed with direct sunlight,
In each series, each piece of photo is printed with an interval of one minute of exposure more than the previous negative and it is done by a cyanotype method.
The negatives are result of a combination of several images from my father's photo archive of Iran's revolution in 1979 and From the photos taken by me of the trees burned in the forest fire in 2022.
Statement:
The sunlight prompts me to think of the initial moment of the emergence of the first changes and their continuity, which are apparently constant and also transforming every moment.
And light, the essence that is all the time enlightening, reveals the reality of everything before our eyes, whether that thing is a picture or life.
