A contemporary image of two Kurdish men in traditional Kurdish dress, striking a hyper-staged pose with binoculars against a saturated yellow backdrop. Their matching black outfits, patterned sashes, and dramatic hand-on-hip postures nod to both surveillance culture and the aesthetics of performance. Originally circulating in Iranian social media circles, the photo reflects a playfully self-aware masculinity—one that flirts with both militarized iconography and Instagram-style curation. Stylized but rooted in real-life gestures, this print captures a moment where pride, fashion, and performance collapse into one. Featured in our publication Kharabat by Farhad Qashqai.
