Ab-Anbar Gallery is pleased to present an exhibition of works by Iranian photographer, Mohammad Ghazali (b. 1980, Tehran-Iran), showcasing a selection of his last collection ‘Bad and Worse’ which took him 8 years to complete. This would be his twelfth solo show and first with Ab-Anbar. Mohammad Ghazali holds a BA in photography from the Islamic Azad Art and Architecture University of Iran and has studied and worked in Germany and France. In his latest experiment, Ghazali engages with the relation between self/other and surrounding urban space. He has held over 20 national and international shows. In 2004, he was awarded the first prize of the 9th Tehran Photography Biennale for his work 'Self Portrait' which is now part of Tehran Museum of Contemporary Art permanent collection.
“Undoubtedly, ‘Bad and Worse’ project is the outcome of a collaborative event and it wouldn't be possible in any other ways. It is the experience of seeing a city a bit after and before. To accompany thanks to recalling anything that is seeable or has been ignored; we have forgotten or we can't recall. ‘Bad and Worse’ has shortened distances and has lessened the passion, maybe the worst is the best option.” Ghazali mentions in his statement about this exhibition.
