Amir Behroozi

Iran (Islamic Republic of) | B. 1988

Amir Behroozi is a professional photographer based in the United States, with over a 
decade of experience in the field. His journey in photography began with black-and-white single
frame compositions, gradually evolving over the past five years into color photography and visual 
storytelling. 

His passion for photography traces back to his teenage years, when he obsessively archived images 
as an inherent tendency, and even earlier to childhood, when he was captivated by the presence of 
cameras. For Amir, art is more than a creative pursuit—it is a lifeline, a means of escape from 
routine, and an essential need that he cannot ignore. 

Much of his time is devoted to thinking about the stories he wants to tell—whether through a single 
frame or a structured narrative. His focus lies in documenting human relationships and the intricate 
connections between people and their environment. Observing the world through the camera’s 
viewfinder has always been one of his greatest pleasures, alongside discussing photography, 
exploring the works of renowned photographers, and immersing himself in photography books. 

Currently, Amir’s primary artistic pursuit revolves around color photography and visual 
storytelling through photo essays, where he merges aesthetics with deep narrative exploration. His 
work aims to capture the complexity of human experiences while reflecting on the ever-evolving 
relationship between individuals and their surroundings.

React! is a portrait of the human condition and the perception of the world, showing different speeds, multiple realities, encounters and inequalities, so many reactions.
The broadness to which the theme is open is represented in this set of 50 artworks by photographers from 22 nationalities. React! to what, from what perspective? The possibility of endless interpretations is mirrored in an exhibition in which the reaction is as much in the photographed "scene" itself as in the impression of the person who photographed it, and also, and always, in the eye of the person who appreciates the photograph. In this realm, there is the image of time and place, of many places and many qualities of time. There is the beauty of moments, spaces, cultures and traditions. There is a whole scale of emotions. There is the poetry of landscapes and the destruction wrought by war. There is fantasy in improbable scenarios. There are global concerns, personal instances. Sometimes the weight of existence; sometimes the lightness of laughter in the face of death. There remains, still, the certainty of a kaleidoscopic world, in permanent change, so that stories repeat themselves. Because man repeats himself. The continuity of life is also maintained. It is in the faces of many. It is in the colors. It is in the light of black and white. It is in the instinct. In the will. In what is lost, in what is conquered.

With HOME, the theme of the 2nd edition of IN COLORS PROJECT, we set photographers from all over the world a challenge made of delicate matter. We wanted everything from photography - the artistic and emotional act, the conscious and political act, light and shadow. The result is an exhibition that manifests multiple realities in the same blood.
In 74 photographs, 32 authors from 14 nationalities give us the most poignant portrait of what we are, what we do and what we are failing at. Because HOME has smiles and exposed wounds. It shows a sense of belonging and an absurd lack of ground.
It is the human cloak of a thousand patches to which we all belong.
This is our Home. And we can't close our eyes.

Auschwitz: Trace(s) of a legacy is a project that uses photography as a means of creating a link between past, present and future.
To keep the memory alive appeals to reflection and to vigilance and encourages the commitment of future generations, so that, through these, the voices of the survivors, which will soon no longer be heard, can echoe.
We know the history, we have seen the films and we have read the books. We have always been told that Auschwitz is the true symbol of Holocaust, since more than one million jews were murdered there. A factory of killing people! Gypsies, ho-mossexuals, Jehovah's Witnesses and political dissidents also suffered in this dark place.
We have read about the hideous experiments carried out by Mengele in Auschwitz. We have seen photographies of the survivors, of the corpses, of the crematoriums, of the abandoned personal belongings. We started our journey to Poland with the thought that we would be prepared to face the interpretative centre of the Holocaust and, through it, find the answer to our restlessness: how could this have been humanly possible?
During the journey, we revisited those with whom we had previously shared the feeling of the concentration camp. All the pages, testimonies and faces remained well alive in our memories.
We have arrived, the presence in Auschwitz overwhelms us!
No memory, read, studied, seen or heard can be compared to standing right there. In the deafening silence of that place, which carries within itself the imense loss of human sense, the question of Theodor Adorno gains strenght: How can poetry be possible after Auschwitz Ler Menos

Alfredo Cunha's eye, attentive and sharp, documents this magic, this spirit of brotherhood, this collective happiness. The joy of the audience and the euphoria of the bands, who never forget that breathtaking human wall and the generous way they are received. It captures the sweetness, the serenity, the deepest peace, the shared love, the respect, the amazement, the unique energy of the Taboão river, contrasted with the exaltation, the apotheosis, the celebration and the joy, that sacred emotion that Almada Negreiros once said was "the most serious thing in life".

Year after year, we need the Paredes de Coura Festival to recharge the batteries of passion, to dispel the mediocrity of the grayest days, to cure the diseases of the sadness that makes us pale and to chase away the city carrion that burrows into our bones. To fill ourselves with beauty, euphoria and the deepest peace, in divine communion with nature. On pilgrimage, in a perpetual return to magic.

This third edition of the In Colors Project, under the theme JOY, brings together 75 works by 56 authors from 22 countries, forming an emotional atlas that interrogates the ways in which joy is expressed in a world marked by geopolitical tensions and systemic crises.
Photography, as a device for representation and mediation, emerges as a territory for ideological, aesthetic, and poetic experimentation. The selected images map out visual strate- gies through which different cultures are encoded, ritualized, and transmitted. Encompassing a range of representational expressions – from collective celebration to intimate contemplation – each author presents a singular visual lexicon, revealing joy as a socio-anthropological and aesthetic praxis, while envisioning the creation of possible futures.

The curatorial approach is structured around the hypothesis that the photographic image constitutes a device for reconfiguring sensibility, for analyzing and interpreting reality, transfigured and appropriated into autonomous and individual realities, prompting us to question the conditions of possibility for pleasure, encounter, and transformation in contemporary societies.
