From Five 2006

"From Five" (2006) is a minimalist photograph by Iranian filmmaker Abbas Kiarostami. The photograph shows a barely discernible scene of two figures standing on a beach with a vast, misty sky stretching above. This piece is a prime example of Kiarostami's signature style of capturing simple moments in a way that evokes a sense of vastness and mystery. The use of negative space draws the viewer's attention to the figures in the distance, leaving them to interpret their significance in the context of the expansive landscape. Kiarostami's work often grapples with themes of human connection and the passage of time.
