Ashkan Sahihi. ParisNewYorkPortraits

With ParisNewYorkPortraits, photographer Ashkan Sahihi presents a compelling portrait series that challenges and refines the way we see. Envisioning a radiant and optimistic future, the exhibition at Lea Bischofberger Gallery in Zurich presents, together with the book, 38 young people in their twenties from Paris and New York—a generation shaped by pandemic isolation and the constant exposure of digital hypervisibility.

Captured in analogue black-and-white, without artificial light or digital alteration, each face resists easy categorization. Ethnic background, identity, and belonging remain fluid rather than fixed. With remarkable sensitivity and restraint, Sahihi creates images that privilege presence over performance.
