For our next POST x Photoworks Photobook Club, Amin Yusefi will be introducing his new book Eyes Dazzle as they Search for the Truth (Luhz Press, 2026).
In his first book, Iranian artist Amin Yousefi re-photographs images from the 1979 Iranian Revolution, isolating moments when protesters direct their gaze through the lens and toward the viewer. Through the curved halo of a magnifying loupe, Yousefi revisits this monumental time in his nation’s history as he examines the relationship between photographer and subject, reversing the role of the image-maker through the reciprocating gaze of the observer and the observed.
Featuring texts by David Campany and Amin Yousefi, the book examines gaze in its many forms: the relationship between a photographer and their subject; state surveillance of protest movements; and a viewer’s perception of the past, mediated through a halftone matrix.
Amin Yousefi is a London-based writer, curator, and image-based artist. His work examines photography and the archive through their social and political dimensions, focusing on how images shape knowledge, power, and embodied experience. Working across photography, text, and installation, he engages archival material through processes of reconstruction and reconfiguration. He is a recipient of the Royal Photographic Society Award for Achievement in the Art of Photography. His work has been exhibited internationally, including at Museum Kunstpalast, Düsseldorf; Foam Fotografiemuseum Amsterdam; Fotografisk Center, Copenhagen; and Deutsche Börse Photography Foundation, Frankfurt. Yousefi’s practice engages the archive as a site of intervention, where images can be re-read and reworked from within.
As usual, this photobook club session is intended to be welcoming and interactive with a small cohort of photobook lovers!
