“Trump’s Election Through the Lens of Television in Iranian Homes”
The 2020 U.S. presidential election was one of the most controversial and highly debated political events in the world. However, its impact was not confined to the borders of the United States; it was closely followed with great sensitivity across the globe, including in Iran. In this photo series, I have sought to capture moments of how this election was observed through television screens in Iranian homes.
These images not only depict the media coverage of the election but also offer a glimpse into the interiors of Iranian homes—spaces where global politics intertwine with everyday life. From small, old-fashioned TVs to large modern screens, from traditional decor to contemporary settings, these photos tell a story of cultural diversity and the lifestyles of Iranians, who, in one way or another, are connected to global political shifts.
This collection is a visual documentary of politics’ impact in an interconnected world, where decisions made thousands of kilometers away can draw eyes toward a glowing screen in the corner of an Iranian home.
