” Photography of human suffering and affliction may awaken the dormant faculty of compassion; yet it is ultimately for each person to decide whether to pause and enter into the suffering of another, or to turn away and choose not to\n see. “<\/h1>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

\u201cThree Glances For Three Hardships\u201d is a photographic monograph based on nine years of work documenting psychiatric institutions and residential centers for people with physical disabilities in Iran. Featuring photographs and text\n by Atefeh Farhangikia, the book was published in 2024 by Mehri Publication in London.<\/p>\n

The project stands apart from the censored and commissioned imagery produced under the Islamic Republic since the 1979 Revolution. Rather than reproducing official narratives, it offers an intimate, unscripted, and deeply human portrayal\n of life inside these institutions.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

” The hope of art is to imagine a better world, and perhaps looking at photographs that reveal a part of the world\u2019s suffering can help bring such a world into being, especially those moments captured within the camera\u2019s frame and\n endlessly repeated: pain, illness, suffering, sorrow, and hardship recurring time and again in care institutions. ”\n
