Golnaz Broomandi
Born in Tehran and based in France, Golnaz Broomandi explores the fragility and poetry of everyday life through street photography. A multidisciplinary artist, she has worked as a curator, actress, voice performer, and collaborator on various artistic productions.
Always seeking new forms, she eventually found in photography the medium that most faithfully translates her inspirations.
She is irresistibly drawn to cities that breathe — where crowds rush, stories intersect, and time never truly settles: from New Delhi to New York, from Tehran to Tokyo and London, from Hanoi to Rome, wherever the heartbeat of the metropolis can be felt.
Her lens observes the solitary figures of the modern city: anonymous yet profoundly human. She approaches photography as a theatre of chance encounters — fragments of reality salvaged from disappearance, where memory and imagination intermingle.
Before devoting herself fully to photography, she worked as a French translator and co-founded Naakojaa in France — a pioneering publishing house dedicated to amplifying the voices of Iranian writers and playwrights silenced by censorship in Iran.
Her work has been exhibited in France, Germany, Iran, Turkey, and the United States.
