Morteza Soorani
Morteza Soorani (Ahvaz, Iran, 1988) is a self-taught artist based in The Hague working across photography, video, and installation. His practice investigates the social, spatial, and political infrastructures that shape human relationships with water. Combining archival research with documentary and image-based strategies, he examines how water is managed, represented, and contested within contemporary environmental conditions. His work addresses issues such as contamination, drinking-water scarcity, and broader questions of ecological habitability, approaching landscapes in transformation as sites where human behavior and its consequences become visible.
Most recently, his work is featured in Framer Framed’s exhibition Wild Waters: Dams and And Deltas After Modernity (2026) on the inextricable links between water, colonial expansion and territorial exploitation.

Tentoonstelling: Wild Waters
Deze tentoonstelling samengesteld door Àngels Miralda onderzoekt water als iets dat onmisbaar is voor het leven, maar ook als een middel waarmee macht wordt uitgeoefend over mens, land en natuur.
