München – Teheran
Munic – Tehran
Narges Kalhor
»My friends and family show me via Webcam places in Teheran with which I associate pleasant memories together with them and we talk about these places. My mother’s apartment, my room. My friends surprise me – there’s a lot happening and there’s little happening. Through the pictures from Teheran, I can feel the familiar atmosphere of my hometown. Through these pictures, it is obvious that I won’t be able in person to experience this atmosphere for the time being, because I’m simply not allowed to return to Iran.«
