Mohammad Ghazali

Mohammad Ghazali (b. 1980, Iran, Tehran), lives and works in Tehran. He holds a BA in photography from the Islamic Azad Art and Architecture University of Iran. Through photography, Ghazali engages with the relationship between urban spaces and individual life stories. The urban environment serves as the territory in which Ghazali explores the city's capacity to host communal life. Ghazali’s work articulates the relationship between open, common spaces and personal histories, often without the presence of human figures. He investigates the boundaries that separate and unite the author and the spectator, focusing on the margins of photographic mechanics and chemistry.

Ghazali has exhibited widely, including the solo and group shows: Only the morning bird treasures the fower garden, Redcat Gallery, Los Angeles (2018); Re-set, Tête Gallery, Berlin (2018); Dredge, Emkan, Tehran (2016). Ghazali was awarded 1st prize in the 9th Tehran Photography Biennale (2004) for his work Self Portrait which was acquired by the Tehran Museum of Contemporary Art for its permanent collection.
