Ali Reza Hemmat Boland (b.1980, Tehran, Iran) is a Tehran-based photographer and artist. He calls himself an urban wanderer who is trying to document critically the up-down/hegemonic forces of the cities that are influencing citizens’ life negatively. Ali Reza believes informing is the act of activism, and the only genuine strategy to address and narrate the urban phenomena is artistic expression rather academic research. Ali Reza is a member of Jomhour Collective.
