His work, particularly L\u2019\u00c9cho du Temps, reflects a disciplined devotion to memory, site, and the rhythm of public life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Mohammadreza Domiriganji Q1<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I was born in 1990 and trained first in physics, then in architecture. Two disciplines that quietly shaped my way of seeing: exactitude in perception, and a reverence for structure and space. My practice began with ancient sites, where silence is a language and geometry a form of poetry. Over time, my work moved from description to interpretation. From documenting surfaces to composing time, light, and memory within a single frame.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today I live and work in Lyon, a city where history and civic life meet with uncommon dignity. It has refined my tempo, my patience, my relationship to heritage. My journey is no longer about collecting images\u2014it\u2019s about building a body of work that contributes meaningfully to the cultural record, here and internationally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The work belongs to my series L\u2019\u00c9cho du Temps (The Echo of Time). In these photographs, long exposures allow human movement to feather into translucence while the architecture remains immutable. What interests me is the interval in how a living public breathes inside a historical space. And how time, in a photograph, can carry both permanence and disappearance at once.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Receiving this recognition encourages what I value most: disciplined craft, cultural literacy, and respect for the places we portray. It tells me to continue quietly, rigorously, expanding the series across museums, theatres, cathedrals. And civic interiors, with the same fidelity to site, history, and public access.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Q2<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I choose the photograph that can stand alone without exegesis, where composition, light. And intention cohere into a singular, necessary image. I avoid pieces that rely on novelty. The work must invite a second look and a third, reward close reading, print at scale with integrity, and carry a clear relationship to my broader oeuvre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Showing the pure architectural culture, example can be a ceiling. More precisely, the realisation that a ceiling\u2014often overlooked\u2014contains the cosmos of a culture: its cosmology, its craft, its devotions, its mathematics. I wanted to translate that upward gaze into images that honour both artisanship and vision. The camera became a respectful instrument: a way to listen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/angeljsanchez\/?hl=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"broken_link external\"><i class=\"icon-instagram\" style=\"\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.angeljsanchez.com\/angeljsanchez\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"external\"><i class=\"icon-globe-line\" style=\"\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><\/a>&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/muse.international\/?p=27215\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lyon-based artist Mohammadreza Domiriganji translates his training in physics and architecture into photographs that honour heritage while exploring temporality.
