The Two Faces of Iran

by photographer Eric Grigorian
2003 FiftyCrows PhotoFund Finalist - Central Asia Region

In observing the mainstream media representations of his country that callously align all Iranian citizens with their fundamentalist government, Eric Grigorian seeks to insist through images the insurgence of a young, reformist majority in Iran. His essay, “The Two Faces of Iran”, documents the widespread opposition movements exerted by Iranian youths today, a generation that makes up more than 70 percent of the nation’s population. Presenting photographs in black and white as well as in color, he seeks to rupture the one-dimensional impressions of Iran, illuminating for the American public a dynamic perspective of his country that is often sheltered from public opinion.
