Biography
Mehrdad Naraghi born 1978. Studied engineering at Sharif University but later switched to photography. His approach involves showing the significance of human existence by capturing imagery of places and things which have been impressed upon by human experience: the silent and empty places that seem to have been left behind. He is inspired by painting and strives to exemplify the qualities of light and color in his works which he appreciates in painting.
He exhibits regularly in Tehran and has taken part in many group exhibitions internationally, including Photo Quai (Musée du Quai Branly, Paris), 165 years of Iranian photography (Musée du Quai Branly, Paris) and That Shimmering beast (The Empty Quarter Gallery, Dubai). In addition, his works have been published in magazines and books, including Different Sames: New Perspectives in Iranian Contemporary Art and Connaissance des Arts (No21).
In my opion, Erotic is about the hidden emotion, hidden desire which is in everyone and everywhere. His work is about the city at night, when everything is dark. Represent something gloomy and lonely that different from the day. Like the human desire that hidden in our mind.
