About
This work, in a reflexive, very controlled photographic language, resulted in the book Telex Iran, now considered a major work in the history of photography. In it, Gilles Peress plays on categories and genres, juxtaposing images and texts in such a way as to create a dialectic that is at once tense and open, and reveals political and civil reality in all its complexity. Republished in 1997 by Scalo, the book has lost none of its seismic and incisive character and has remained highly topical in light of the most recent episodes in Iran’s turbulent history.
