I Am What I See
The exhibition "I am what I see" was held in September 2021 in Mojdeh Art Gallery. This exhibition was based on doubting the photographer's visions and placing them in parentheses as a means to retrieve them. In November, this collection of art work was transferred to Isfahan and displayed in Isfahan Doran Moaser Art Gallery. In both galleries, the most important feature of the photos from the audience point of view was to contemplate through the medium of photos in order to retrieve the view. These two exhibitions included a complement of three generations of photographers, and the efforts of these three generations in the medium of photography for a new reading from a contemporary point of view were remarkable.
“I am what I see”
Ego and its surrounding world are connected inextricably. This connection leads to the definition of polysensory perception in relation to subject’s “being in the world”. The sensory-motor forces of the “I” summon these perceptions from the outside world. Thought does not exist outside of this intertwined and continuous world, but exists in “it”. In this world, the sights create thought for photographer-viewer, he looks with a special intent and by raising doubt in his view creates a horizon between the outer and inner “I”. This horizon which is my momentary union with the world alongside photographer’s doubt in his seeing causes a thoughtful creation of picture. Therefore, I become what I see.
