Description
Zalmai Dread and Dreams brings together photographs taken by Zalmaï between 2008 and 2013, set against the backdrop of the US-led invasion of Afghanistan. In these powerful black-and-white images, we see an underrepresented Afghanistan, spare in its beauty but thick with texture. Born in Kabul, Afghanistan, Zalmaï's life has been shaped by his experiences as a refugee and his passion for photography. He pursued combined studies at both the School of Photography of Lausanne and the Professional Photography Training Center of Yverdon before beginning his career as a freelance photographer. His work has taken him to many countries around the world, including Afghanistan, where he continues to document the ongoing war and plight of the Afghan people. Zalmaï's photographs have been published in several magazines and newspapers, including the New York Times Magazine, Time Magazine, and The New Yorker Magazine. His work has earned him international recognition, including the Visa D'Or from the Visa Pour l'Image International Photojournalism Festival.
