Be prepared for some insights into the depiction of love in post-revolutionary Iran.

Here's the background:

When photography first made its entry in Iran during the Qajar dynasty (1789-1925) at the end of the 19th century, no one could have imagined that one day this tool would be used to record love. Until the Islamic Revolution of 1979, many couples went in front the camera to break the taboo that surrounded the depiction of love. Photography has made it possible to put into images the love that had been depicted only in books until then, and thus to make it visible in the streets and houses. During King Pahlavi's second dynasty (1925-1979), photography spread Visual Pleasure. The arrival of the Revolution gradually closed the door of all liberties to show love in public.

As the artist is herself part of the post-revolutionary generation, she saw how attractive Visual Pleasure had become. To reach it, you had to be patient. Visual Pleasure could only come to them through the melting of time.
