“At some point along the way, my work started to be described in certain ways: personal nonfiction; biographical; autobiographical; experimental documentary; essayistic. A lot of adjectives got thrown at me, none of which really matter, of course. Whatever I was doing, whatever I am doing, I just know that it’s because I’ve been following the intertwined trajectories of my heart, my fascination, and my need.”

    CAVEH ZAHEDI United States, 2012
