Found Photography has found a strong place in recent years in the Middle East. Artists using such photographs in a new context and with newfound mean- ing are doing so for both aesthetics and concept. In the pre-Revolution era, the photography of Iran tends to depict women without the veil and histori- cally, it references a specific period of life in Iran between the banishment and enforcement of the veil as in the work of Taraneh Hemami.
Born and raised in Tehran, Iran prior to the Revolution and currently living and working in San Francisco, Hemami explores the complex cultural politics of exile through personal and collective narratives, virtual space, layers of history and projects. She engages in diverse strategies including instal- lation, object and media productions, collective and participatory projects to explore themes of displacement, preservation, and representation. In Cut- outs (2002-2006) from the Hall of Reflection series, she uses old vernacu- lar photographs of the 1960’s and 70’s Iran to confront you with the images and photographs of a simultaneously private and public world; it is a world that traces the scattered memories and migrations of Iranians in the later half of this century to the place where they live now, the San Francisco Bay Area. Hall of Reflections awakens and presents the stories, "remembrances" and traces of the multi-generational and multi-faceted history of Iranians in this area.
