Mehraneh Atashi (b. 1980) trained as a photographer in Tehran and explores the relationship between the time of the self and the time of the world. Their work examines the history of violence as a backdrop for navigating liminal states—being oneself while embodying many, standing between realities while maintaining factual grounding, and bridging the internal and external. Using archives, they document memory through images, performances, installations, publications, and curatorial projects. Recent exhibitions include Simurgh (Gallery Crone, Berlin, 2023), Stories of Belonging (DeAppel, Amsterdam, 2022), and Is It Possible to Be a Revolutionary and Like Flowers? (Nest, The Hague, 2021).
