Some 12,000 kilometers separate Tehran from Los Angeles. But despite this geographical distance which is almost a chasm, the Iranian capital is not that far from the second city of the United States, at least on a territorial and urban level. This is what Hannah Darabi demonstrates at the Geneva Center of Photography (CPG) through You’re So Tehran!an exhibition which brings together two series for the first time: Fragile high low (2013-2016) et Soleil of Persian Square (2017-2021), this having been shown this summer by the Rencontres de la Photographie d’Arles.
Born in Tehran in 1981, Hannah Darabi remembers her discovery, in the 1990s, of a variety show broadcast for the Iranian New Year (Nowruz, which takes place on the spring solstice). Checked into the Los Angeles Airport Hilton Hotel, Tanin Television Show saw a succession of stars of Iranian pop music. “We listened to our beloved singers, we wished each other a happy new year, also hoping for the departure of the Islamist regime, and the advent of a free Iran,” writes the photographer in the foreword to the book.
