Ordinary Grief by Parisa Azadi

Ordinary Grief by Parisa Azadi

Ordinary Grief is a story of tenuous reconciliation. In 2017, I returned to Iran after 25 years of self-exile, where I embarked on a personal and political reclamation of my identity and history. With images spanning 2017-2022, Ordinary Grief is my attempt to reconcile despair and joy, exhaustion and hope. It’s about ordinary Iranians actively trying to create new futures for themselves despite the odds. It’s a love letter to a country from which I feel estranged, despite having been born there, and to the people who call it home.

The Sublime Catalyst: Atmosphere by Raju Peddada

The Sublime Catalyst: Atmosphere by Raju Peddada

In 2013 I had walked anxiously around in South Delhi by my old neighborhood and didn't see anything recognizable. There was always this belief that I could always visit my old places and they would be there, untouched – it was an illusion. Not a molecule of it was there to connect to – it was erased by progress. Standing there under a pall of melancholy an inexplicable longing had welled up in me that only a Marcel Proust or a Giuseppe Lampedusa could have understood. The illusion I had for decades had simply evaporated. Only faint grainy mental videos played out as I stared at the emptiness. And as I stood there a tall middle-aged gentleman had approached me and asked me who I was, and if I was OK. It was only when I was invited and having tea in his living room did I realize who he was – an old neighbor I had played with, a lifer there. He never recognized me, and I had left it at that and moved on. People do not react the way we expect them to. We can be poles in our sentiments. Progress with time is a poisonous recipe for nostalgia. We are better served by those ancient Buddhist precepts of non-attachment, dis-association and transience, which is the only anesthetic against such futile expectations of our internal atmosphere – but then who can afford to be an ascetic?

All About Photo Presents ' Street Photography At The End Of The 80s' by Henk Kosche

Tucked away in a small cardboard box, a collection of 35mm negatives sat untouched for nearly four decades. For photographer Henk Kosche, these forgotten strips of film—once destined for the darkroom—became time capsules of a world on the brink of profound transformation. With analog processes fading into memory and digital archives multiplying, the box might have remained closed. But as Kosche puts it, “At some point, the past catches up with you.” Inside, he found photographic treasures that now form the heart of his latest exhibition: Street Photography at the End of the '80s.
