Mehdi Mansouri was born in 1976 in Tehran, Iran. He is a member of the Iranian Society of Photographers and has been active in the field of conceptual photography.
He has been working in visual arts since 2005 with a contemporary arts certificate and has held dozens of exhibitions, both in Iran and abroad. The main themes of his collections are birth and death, the ultimate realization of consciousness, and the challenges the contemporary human faces when searching for this consciousness shape.
He takes photographs of layouts which are usually composed of elements such as mirrors and humans. Then, he creates collages with these photos. His works are finally presented as photo collages and are usually displayed within a layout alongside a performance in the gallery. Brilliant and industrial decorative colors, figures, everyday signs, and images that are more reflections rather than images, help the viewer see the characteristics of contemporary art in these works.
