In Eyes Dazzle as They Search for the Truth, Iranian artist Amin Yousefi rephotographs images from the 1979 Iranian Revolution, isolating moments when protesters direct their gaze through the lens and toward the viewer. Through the curved halo of a magnifying loupe, Yousefi revisits this monumental time in his nation’s history as he examines the relationship between photographer and subject, reversing the role of the image-maker through the reciprocating gaze of the observer and the observed.

Featuring texts by David Campany and Amin Yousefi, the book examines gaze in its many forms: the relationship between a photographer and their subject; state surveillance of protest movements; and a viewer’s perception of the past, mediated through a halftone matrix.
