Paradise City

Autor Sébastien Cuvelier
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 5 ian 2021
Sebastien Cuvelier's journey to Iran was inspired by a manuscript written on his late uncle's journey to Persepolis nearly 50 years ago. In Paradise City, photographs from Cuvelier's time in Iran are layered on top of his uncle's diary to create a conversation between the two travels. The book follows his search through both the contemporary and ancient landscapes of Iran to locate an elusive, dreamlike version of paradise. The Iran depicted in his uncle's writings and photographs - which later surfaced in a briefcase - was far removed from that which confronted Cuvelier. The revolution of 1979 irrevocably transformed the country into a state in which citizens' lives are restricted. The country's young and connected population has had to constantly adjust its way of living in order to circumvent the limitations imposed by the Government. As a result, the youth yearn to leave - they seek paradise, but are unsure where to look. Cuvelier attempts to reflect this pursuit of paradise in his photographs - metaphorical, fleeting and illusive - each image appears like a piece of an intangible jigsaw combining what once was or could be, with the present. The photographs depict views, gardens, people or buildings, often physically hidden or veiled by material, foliage, darkness, vantage point or shadow. They show glimpses of contemporary Iran through the eyes of Cuvelier and the people he met - at times romanticised, nostalgic or even utopian.
