In 2016, Dolatabadi began documenting her visits to her family’s garden outside of Tehran. Here, she spends her days with her father, one of the most prolific contemporary Iranian novelists. He is a man who has lived through poverty, imprisonment, revolution, war, political repression and censorship. As they share memories, Dolatabadi counters her father’s version of events by narrating her own perspective as a child.
“From when I was little, I was aware that Mahmoud is a great writer, and famous. This didn’t impact our relationship as daughter and father as such, but it did force me to see him through the admiring eyes of others,” Dolatabadi said. “As a result, he became two different people for me: Mahmoud the beloved father and Mahmoud the great writer whom I don’t have the same access to. This idea of wanting to know more about his other reality, or his imaginary life, has been with me for a long time.
