A review of Mehran Mohajer's exhibition "The Present Past" at ag Galerie by Alireza Saei

"Mehran Mohajer's exhibition at ag Galerie, "The Present Past" depicted Iran's ancient monuments with a new perspective. In most of his photographs in his series, vague objects were blocking the viewer's sight. However, the monument was not in the centre of the photographer's focus. Mohajer was not trying to show old buildings or ancient monuments, Mohajer was questioning the viewer's mind with the inaccessible history he depicted in his photographs."
