Spectral Days is a deeply personal project and introspective look into the past that started in 2009 when Shahbazi began her forage into thousands of family photographs retrieved from her home in Tehran. A long process of scanning, cropping, layering and manipulating ensued. The outcome is Spectral Days, a series photomontages that resides in the hazy transition between the past and its remembrance.

Spectral Days quietly questions the sanctity of the photographic medium both as an artistic form and as a record of the past. Shahbazi’s handling of the source material is irreverent. The scanning is rough; the image is often pixelated. Fragments of pictures are duplicated within the same frame while positive and negative images are used interchangeably.
