‘Trilogy: Then…’ presents three bodies of work created from 2009 to 2024 by Iranian artist Mohammad Ghazali, focusing on his exploration of the possibilities of photography to examine the relations between urban spaces and the stories of its inhabitants. Often presenting traces of human presence in the absence of their figures, he reveals glimpses of the socio-politics of his city, Tehran, through works with deceptive simplicity that calls for closer examination. This active participation required of the viewer challenges the blurred lines of authorship, but also of the presumed role of image as evidence, adopting photography as a means to provoke unanswered questions. Ghazali’s work underscores the fluidity of perception and narrative, suggesting that our engagement and interpretation of images are dynamic processes, rather than fixed truths.
For his first exhibition at Ab-Anbar’s project space, Martin Cordiano’s new series of sculptures invites us to delve into the essence of space and its profound significance in our lives through his perplexing constructions. The place we inhabit and how we signify it is at the core of Cordiano’s practice. Here, the works offer a distinctive perspective on the interplay between our daily routines, encounters with others, and the surrounding environment during historically significant moments. Though apparently simple on the surface, this body of work harbours complex implications and transcends traditional boundaries, not only of art and architecture but of the intricate relationships between them, the tangible world and societies.
