Eyes Dazzle as They Search for the Truth // Amin Yousefi (@aminyosefi)

“The demonstrators photographed by Amin Yousefi during the Iranian Revolution of 1978–79 did not know what future awaited their country, just as the photographers observing them could not have known which of those faces would survive the processes of historical memory. Photography therefore preserves something that history, in its retrospective form, necessarily tends to erase: the indeterminacy of the future”.

I wrote about @aminyosefi ‘s ‘Eyes Dazzle as They Search for the Truth’ for ‘Map of Maps’, the inaugural issue of @september_projects - which we’ve just received advance copies for and is beginning to make its way out into the world after a year and a half of work alongside my co-editors @andrea_orejarena @rain.ykc and designer @brianpaullamotte . Amin re-photographed images made by other photographers in the 1979 Iranian revolution, using a magnifying loupe to hone in on the people in the crowds who were looking directly at the photographers. I wrote: To magnify an image is to walk straight into Michelangelo Antonioni’s Blow-Up. In the 1966 film, a photographer wanders through a park, photographs a couple, and later suspects his negatives contain evidence of a murder. In his darkroom, he rephotographs and enlarges the prints again and again. As the details become larger, the photographer doubts himself, until he no longer knows what he has seen. One might expect magnification would reveal more than what the naked eye can see; in reality, it exposes strangeness. At close range, the familiar turns uncanny. It’s like repeating the word ‘looking’ until it ceases to be language and becomes sound.
It was a pleasure to spend time looking carefully at this work, which was also just published by @luhz.press @zoelem with a text by @davidcampany and will be included in @sascha_ray ‘s ‘Fever Dream’ group show - also all about archives - opening @palogallery on October 9th from 6-8pm.

Eyes Dazzle as They Search for the Truth
available at actualsource.org

In Eyes Dazzle as They Search for the Truth, Iranian artist Amin Yousefi rephotographs images from the 1979 Iranian Revolution, isolating moments when protesters direct their gaze through the lens and toward the viewer. Through the curved halo of a magnifying loupe, Yousefi revisits this monumental time in his nation’s history as he examines the relationship between photographer and subject, reversing the role of the image-maker through the reciprocating gaze of the observer and the observed.

Featuring texts by David Campany and Amin Yousefi, the book examines gaze in its many forms: the relationship between a photographer and their subject; state surveillance of protest movements; and a viewer’s perception of the past, mediated through a halftone matrix.

been home to Dhaka’s Hindu community for over 400 years. The festival of Holi, inspired by the Hindu mythological tale of Prahlad and Holika, symbolizes the triumph of righteousness over arrogance. In this neighborhood, Holi is not just a religious celebration but a cultural festival that unites people across generations and communities.
Holi in Shakhari Bazar is more than just a festival—it is a symbol of cultural heritage and togetherness. As the colors settle and the laughter fades, the spirit of Holi lingers in the hearts of those who experienced it, reminding everyone that joy and unity can transcend barriers, keeping traditions alive for generations to come...
