August 30, 2019The third edition of Kitab – a photobook festival showcases photobooks from 27 countries. Shahrzad Darafsheh reveals what was going on in her mind while capturing her journey in the book Half-Light.When I first attempt to contact Tehran-based Shahrzad Darafsheh via email, her representative tells me that she is unavailable to interact with on account of “being on a journey”. I smile. ‘It has a nice ring to it’, I think to myself.
As someone battling cancer, it’s easy to let the disease take over every aspect of your life. I try to keep my mind off it by indulging in simple activities like watching the sheets catch a draft of the wind. Such ritualistic acts help me maintain my sanity. The word “hope” took on a whole new meaning for me when I was diagnosed with cancer. Now, it’s a way of life; an emotion that is as important to me.
Embarking on this journey opened my mind to mankind’s fundamental notions of life, death and everything in between. Death is no more a dark place and life is not merely a light beam.I wanted to create something new from the pain. And so this project was born. Half-Light can be read both ways, from right to left and vice versa.
