By an Eye-Witness: The work of Azadeh Akhlaghi

Azadeh Akhlaghi is an Iranian photographer and filmmaker. Her work 'By an Eye-Witness' adopts the strategy of staging events that span a 90-year time frame to embody the collective memory of her country. By depicting scenes that feature the violent, traumatic, or controversial demise of poets, journalists, students, intellectuals, or political activists, Akhlaghi leads us to the realm of the sensible and lived experience.
