Through rephotographing, cropping and magnification, the images examine the relationship between photographer and subject and complicate the conventional one-way relationship between observer and observed. At the event, Yousefi joins his long-time collaborator David Campany in conversation, interrogating what it means to look and to look back. Both speakers consider the photograph as a two-sided encounter in which the return of the gaze destabilises conventional ideas of photographic authority.", "url": "https://noky.io/en/london/events/eyes-dazzle-as-they-search-for-the-truth-36606/", "official_url": "https://ibraaz.org/whats-on/eyes-dazzle-as-they-search-for-the-truth", "image": "https://noky.io/images/43b7ab334378922a1e47139f44951cbfb53d9fb2984eb73851ea44b6a8b1c8f0-2000.webp", "dates": [{"start": "2026-11-05T18:00:00Z", "end": "2026-11-05T20:00:00Z", "place": "Ibraaz", "address": "Mortimer Street 93, W1W 7SS London", "tickets": ""}], "similar": [{"title": "One Photograph / Different Perspectives", "start": "2026-11-07T16:00:00Z", "end": "2026-11-07T17:30:00Z", "place": "Collective", "address": "", "price": "", "price_from": null, "price_to": null, "tickets_url": "", "category": "talks-readings", "tags": ["art/photography"], "description": "An artist-led conversation about how the context of a photograph shapes the way we see it.
