Until June 20, Évidences – La Compagnie des Photographes presents at the Consulat Voltaire a group exhibition of 10 Iranian photographers.
We have chosen to showcase the work of one of them, Babak Haghi, who sent us this text.
Babak Haghi (b. 1982, Tabriz, Iran) is a Tehran-based photo artist. Since beginning his professional practice in 2013, he has developed a distinct visual language rooted in photography, both analog and digital—alongside video art and alternative printing techniques.
His work explores themes of identity, the dialect of the body, the feminine within human nature, and the cultural constructions of masculinity. Often drawing from the landscape and mythologies of Iran, Haghi uses the photographic medium to interrogate the boundaries between self and society, nature and human form, memory and performance.
In addition to fine art photography, his career has been marked by a deep engagement with theater and performance documentation. His series such as Behind the Masculinity, The Poetics of Water, and We Could All Be a Simorgh—invite viewers to reconsider how the body can act as both subject and symbol within shifting socio-cultural narratives.
Until June 22, 2025
