دونادون

نمایشگاه انفرادی عکس

افتتاحیه اردیبهشت ماه 1394 

دونادون و یا جامه به جامه، همان چرخش روح از کالبدی به کالبد، اعم از انسانی، جانوری و یا نباتی است. گذر ایام در این چرخش ها نقشی از خود بر سیمای آدمی میزند که گوئی قرنهاست بر روی زمین زیسته. این مجموعه ثبت چهره هائی ست از پیروان دین یاری ساکن خطه کردستان ایران که یارسان* نامیده می شوند. طی سفری که به این سرزمین داشتم آنها را در جشنی دیرین موسوم به خاونکار* همراهی کردم. روز خاونکار اهالی روستاها و شهرهای اطراف، برای دیدار با پیرشان، در ده توت شامی * گرد هم آمدند. نزدیک ظهر همه مدعوین تنبورزنان در صحن اصلی حاضر شده و به خواندن دعاهای دسته جمعی پرداختند. در میان بیش از پانصد نفری که حضور داشتند، تعدادی از چهره ها مرا فرا می خواند. همان ها را در گوشه ای که از قبل با پارچه ای مشکی برای خود جدا کرده بودم، دعوت به عکاسی کردم . لحظاتی چند مقابل نگاهم آرام گرفتند و به عدسی چشم دوختند.

این عکس ها برشی از یک دون است، با نگاه هائی به قدمت بشریت

*یارسان یا اهل حق نام مسلکی ست عرفانی که در سده هفتم هجری توسط سلطان اسحاق بنیان گذاشته شده است و به طور عمده در کردستان ایران و عراق پیرو دارد

* خاونکار، جشنی سه روزه در اواسط پاییز است که میهمانان این مراسم دیرینه با گرفتن روزه و استحمام و تهیه لباس نو به پیشواز آن می روند. در روز موعود همراه با خانواده با مقداری سیب و انار دون شده ، تنبور زنان به دیدار پیر خود می رون

* توت شامی، روستایی است از توابع بخش گهواره، در شهرستان دالاهو استان کرمانشاه ایران

DOONADOON

Solo photography exhibition 

Doonadoon, or “Jameh beh Jameh”, is the circulation of soul from one shell to another one, whether human, animal or vegetal. 

The passage of time in these circles chisels its own image on human faces as if the person has lived for centuries. This collection is images of followers of “Dinyari” religion in Iranian Kurdistan, more commonly known as “Yaresan”*.

I had the opportunity to visit the area purposely to observe the festivities that is called “Khavankar”*, during which the inhabitants of villages and cities of the area gather to meet their elder in a village called “Toot Shami”*. By mid day the audience gather, and to music of Tambour, they sing their collective prayers and visit the leader and the elders. Among the more than five hundred people that were present few faces were calling to me. I invited them to be photographed with a black backdrop that I prepared, and they calmly faced my camera for few minutes and stared at the lens.

These images are a cut from a “Doon”, with gazes that are as old as humanity.

*Yarsanism, The Yarsan or Ahl-e Haqq,"People of Truth", is a syncretic religion founded by Sultan Sahak in the late 14th century in Western Iran and Iraq. For more info:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yarsanism.

*Khavankar is a three day festival in mid Autumn and followers gather to celebrate it mainly in the village of “Toot Shami” in Dalahoo area of province of Kermanshah in Iran.

More About Tehran

Overview and HistoryTehran is the capital of Iran and the largest city in the Middle East, with a population of fifteen million people living under the peaks of the Alborz mountain range.Although archaeological evidence places human activity around Tehran back into the years 6000BC, the city was not mentioned in any writings until much later, in the thirteenth century. It's a relatively new city by Iranian standards.But Tehran was a well-known village in the ninth century. It grew rapidly when its neighboring city, Rhages, was destroyed by Mongolian raiders. Many people fled to Tehran.In the seventeenth century Tehran became home to the rulers of the Safavid Dynasty. This is the period when the wall around the city was first constructed. Tehran became the capital of Iran in 1795 and amazingly fast growth followed over the next two hundred years.The recent history of Tehran saw construction of apartment complexes and wide avenues in place of the old Persian gardens, to the detriment of the city's cultural history.The city at present is laid out in two general parts. Northern Tehran is more cosmopolitan and expensive, southern Tehran is cheaper and gets the name "downtown."Getting ThereMehrabad airport is the original one which is currently in the process of being replaced by Imam Khomeini International Airport. The new one is farther away from the city but it now receives all the international traffic, so allow an extra hour to get there or back.TransportationTehran driving can be a wild free-for-all like some South American cities, so get ready for shared taxis, confusing bus routes and a brand new shiny metro system to make it all better. To be fair, there is a great highway system here.The metro has four lines, tickets cost 2000IR, and they have segregated cars. The women-only carriages are the last two at the end, FYI.Taxis come in two flavors, shared and private. Private taxis are more expensive but easier to manage for the visiting traveler. Tehran has a mean rush hour starting at seven AM and lasting until 8PM in its evening version. Solution? Motorcycle taxis! They cut through the traffic and any spare nerves you might have left.People and CultureMore than sixty percent of Tehranis were born outside of the city, making it as ethnically and linguistically diverse as the country itself. Tehran is the most secular and liberal city in Iran and as such it attracts students from all over the country.Things to do, RecommendationsTake the metro to the Tehran Bazaar at the stop "Panzda Gordad". There you can find anything and everything -- shoes, clothes, food, gold, machines and more. Just for the sight of it alone you should take a trip there.If you like being outside, go to Darband and drink tea in a traditional setting. Tehranis love a good picnic and there are plenty of parks to enjoy. Try Mellat park on a friday (fridays are public holidays), or maybe Park Daneshjou, Saaii or Jamshidieh.Remember to go upstairs and have a look around, always always always! The Azadi Tower should fit the bill; it was constructed to commemorate the 2500th anniversary of the Persian Empire.Tehran is also full of museums such as:the Contemporary Art Museumthe Abghine Musuem (glass works)the 19th century Golestan Royal Palace museumthe museum of carpets (!!!)Reza Abbasi Museum of extraordinary miniaturesand most stunning of all,the Crown Jewels Museum which holds the largest pink diamond in the world and many other jaw-dropping jewels.Text by Steve Smith.
