Shirana Shahbazi
Shirana Shahbazi's oeuvre reflects an ongoing interest in the relationship between images, their surfaces and their objecthood, as well as between the various artistic media and their apparent iconic qualities.Her pictures range from colour-field abstractions to volatile holiday snapshots. The artist has assembled a population of images, which handles an equal weight as a dispersed as well as a coherent body of work.From heavy frames to delicate litho-prints, her projects talk in fragments about the artist's genuine engagement with issues of representation as well as the presentation of images themselves.This 'artist's book' publication pictures Shahbazi's recent work, taken to a compelling new level of abstraction, culminating in the free disposition of colours and geometric forms.Shahbazi stages these geometrical forms, not on a computer screen, but by arranging and staging real geometric bodies of colour in her studio--as though for a still life--and by then photographing them from different perspectives.Her production style is pivotal not only for the brilliance of colour; it is shining through in delicate details such as double exposures or intriguing effects of depth.

First Things First catalogs a stylized selection of images from Zu'rich-based Iranian photographer Shirana Shahbazis (b. 1974) various series created over the last decade and exhibited at the KINDL Berlin (2017). The 47 color photographs comprising this slender publication are not categorically or linearly organized but free of hierarchy. Shahbazi embraces a wide variety of photographic styles, subjects and techniques using various traditional photographic printing processes, and displays them together on each page to create a dynamic visual journey that bridges the real and the subliminal. Fruit and flower still lives are placed alongside unspectacular landscapes, casual urban scenes alongside geometric shapes and colored compositions in contrast with black-andwhite images. Shahbazis color-saturated images alternate between abstraction and representation. Seen together, they highlight similarities between pictures from different genres and point to structural parallels between inside and outside, organic and manufactured and natural and constructed landscapes. Brief essays by writer/critic Jens Asthoff and KINDL artistic director Andreas Fiedler.

Photography is always suspended between authenticity, construction and selection ... a balancing act that is, to me, its quintessential justification as an artistic medium--Shirana Shahbazi Shirana Shahbazi explores genres as varied as the vanitas still-life, portraiture, landscape and color abstraction. Shahbazi is just as mobile in her choice of media, for example commissioning carpet makers in her native Iran and billboard painters to copy her images. Often employing the slick look of commercial photography, Shahbazi's images are bright and accessible, yet at heart dispassionate and skeptical. Shirana Shahbazi was born in Tehran in 1974, moved to Germany in 1985 and today lives in Zurich. She studied photography and design at the University of Applied Sciences and Arts in Dortmund and at Zurich University of the Arts. Her work has been exhibited at venues including the Centre d'Art Contemporain in Geneva, the Barbican Art Gallery in London and the Hammer Museum in Los Angeles.

"Tehran North," Shirana Shahbazi's latest photo-project from October 2015, is a subjective road movie captured from a car driving through the Iranian capital at night. The book offers a black and white kaleidoscopic vision of Tehran's urban landscape. "Camera Austria" publisher and director Reinhard Braun characterizes it as "a film noir traversing a megacity that, although remote and unknown to many, seems to be as common as others." He continues: "Housing areas, illuminated shops and billboards, highways, facades vanish either in darkness either in bright light, slipping away from any decisive representation. Uncanny encounters clash with everyday banality. The mysterious is at the same time forced and undermined, suppressing any exoticism. Beauty is shaking knowledge, as fascination is shaking distant objectiveness, and vice versa. Both an inventory and a construction, highly artificial and generic, Tehran North ends with nearly unidentifiable shapes and almost slides into darkness. But this is not a statement of finishing; it is an introduction to all the other possible images to follow up." --Publisher's website.

Shirana Shahbazi frequented the Conference and Education Center of a Swiss Re Insurance building over a period of 12 months. The resulting montage of photography and classical painting genres cultivates an associative trip through portrait, landscape, still life and history painting. What emerges depends partly on your eye's liability.
