"A Surreal Glimpse Into Everyday Life in Iran"

VICE Magazine published a feature interview with photographer Sina Shiri, highlighting his unique approach to documenting everyday life in Iran. “A Surreal Glimpse Into Everyday Life in Iran” explores Shiri’s practice at the intersection of photojournalism, surrealism, and street photography. Shiri reflects on his journey from working in the Iranian press to developing a personal photographic language that blends spontaneity with conceptual depth. His ongoing series "The Remains of the Day", shot in Iranian bus terminals, captures the emotional tension of transition, rooted in his own experience of migration. Shiri also discusses his long-term project "60 Seconds", set in his hometown of Manjil, and his fascination with ambiguous, often absurd public moments that reveal deeper social truths.
