Shadowplay

“In this series of photographs, I focused on the buildings and cityscapes in my hometown – Tehran – on weekend mornings when it was quieter and devoid of so many people. My aim was to show how both new and old buildings often form a strange composition and also how they give the city a new and different look. I was interested in seeing if the new buildings helped us to forget the memories of the previous ones or perhaps we feel that they are constructed in haste and that, therefore, we don’t have a chance to look back. It suggests that they are already part of the past.” – Sara Farid Amin
