To that end, Ibn Sina Book Town hosted a solo photography exhibition by Fattahieh titled Ava (Sound). A-listers Hossein Kiani, Farzad Pak, Hossein Jamali, Roshanak Ghezelbash and Nima Hosseini Panah attended the opening ceremony.
One of his photographs on display had earlier been displayed in an art show in Paris. In total, 15 photographs were on display. The photography projects aimed to shed light on the importance of interaction in the lives of viewers.
Speaking to Honaronline, he said word and sound are the main tools for communication in any given society. In my photographs, I have tried to showcase the sounds that help us communicate with each other on a day to day basis.
He added: Human relations are there for us to see. I help viewers see this kind of message or interaction through my photographs. They help viewers interact with each other and discuss what they see in each and every work.
Most of the photographs had no titles. In this respect, Fattahieh said: I never wanted to have a title for these works. They are all tagged ‘no title’. Ultimately, the project aims to open a dialogue about maintaining relationships in the society and the struggles the viewers face to that end.
In conclusion, Fattahieh said: These are not just some photographs hanging from the wall. The idea is to help the viewers interact with them. They must find out the hidden meanings of each and every work. And they don’t need to be black and white or in color. What I was after was the end result.
