anthro-instas iran

Between 2014 and 2018 I stayed multiple times in Iran (Tehran / Qom) for language training and research. 

The pictures that I was privately posting on social media to friends and family enabled a surprising shift of perceptions toward the country. I decided to launch my first instagram account dedicated to post 1 public photo a day. 

This was an attempt to find in ethnographic observations, and the immediacy of iphone snapshots and quick poetic annotating, a path through evocation rather than representation, so to enable empathy among viewers.
