A photo book by Lawrence Rusty, an Iranian female photographer born and raised in Geneva, "There are No Homosexuals in Iran (Unopened)". Lawrence Rusty is a young photographer who is attracting attention as a finalist of the "Aperture Portfolio Award" and being selected for the "Magnum Photo Award". This book was published in 2017 and was nominated for the "First PhotoBook Prize" at Paris Photo in 2018. The provocative title comes from a speech by then Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad at Columbia University in the United States in 2007, stating that there are no homosexuals in Iran. Homosexuality is punishable by death in Iran, and Iranian gays are said to be living as refugees in the small Turkish town of Denizli. This book contains portraits and cityscapes of gays living in Denizli, with such sexual minorities as the theme. Many of the portraits have their faces hidden, showing them as 'non-existent people'. This is a social photo book by an up-and-coming photographer. Brand new unopened.
