Placed on a lightbox, images of a certain rooftop in Tehran, taken between 2005-2009 give a personal yet overall account of the city during those years as a backdrop of the events that followed. The images are taken in the nighttime, when during the warmer seasons the rooftops function as an extension of the private space. The images bear witness the migrating youth and urban expansion while the almost daylight quality of them subtly reflects on the city as the space of reality and projection.
