Excited to begin a new chapter of creating, making, learning, thinking, experimenting, collaborating with Magnum Photos, as my work evolves and diversifies, and combines with explorations in art and academic research.
I’ve joined the agency as a nominee: https://www.magnumphotos.com/…/updates-2018-magnum-photos-…/
A special thank you to Jonas Bendiksen and Susan Meiselas for shepherding me through this process, and several friends for helping me think through it Newsha Tavakolian, Carolyn Drake, Michael Christopher Brown, Moises Saman, Sohrab, Peter van Agtmael.
Congratulations to the other four nominees Gregory Halpern, Rafał Milach, Lua Ribeira Loui and Lindokuhle Sobekwa Linda. And congratulations to UGLY DOG aka Sohrab Hura and Lorenzo Melonifor becoming associates.
A big thank you to all the institutions, individuals, curators, editors, mentors, colleagues and friends who have helped and supported me over the years on this un-breadcrumbed road.
Onward!
