About

SETAREH SHAHBAZI was born in Teheran in 1978. She studied Scenography and Media Arts at the State Academy for Art and Design in Karlsruhe and spent the following ten years living and working between Beirut, Tehran, Cairo and Berlin, where she has been based since 2013. Her work draws inspiration from visual objects that surround her, from old family photographs to newspaper clippings, feeding into her conceptual installations, multi-coloured prints, and digitally manipulated photomontages. Through her artistic practice, Shahbazi offers reconstructed narratives simultaneously provided by her personal stories and the forgotten items that she comes across. Her works have been displayed in exhibitions in Iran, Lebanon, Germany, Italy, and France. Since 2020, she is also artistic co-director of KHF – Künstlerhof Frohnau, an artist-run studio village situated in woods on the periphery of Berlin.
