There Are No Homosexuals in Iran
On September 24, 2007 at New York’s Columbia University, former Iranian President Aḥmadinežād said: “There are no homosexuals in Iran as there are in the United States”. In Iran homosexuality is still punishable by death, so the radical option for Iranian homosexuals is to flee. Lauren Rasti questions the concept of identity and tries to give back to those people a face that Iran has stolen from them.
Laurence Rasti (Geneva, Switzerland, 1990), was born in 1990 to Iranian parents, in Switzerland. In her photographs she explores the concepts of identity and beauty.
