  • Interview with Bahman Jalali1
    11 Interview with Bahman Jalali1 By Catherine David2 Catherine David: Among all the Muslim countries, it seems that it was in Iran where photography was first developed immediately after its invention – and was most inventive. Bahman Jalali: Yes, it arrived in Iran just eight years after its invention. Invention is one thing, what about collecting? When did collecting photographs beyond family albums begin in Iran? When did gathering, studying and curating for archives and museum exhibitions begin? When did these images gain value? And when do the first photography collections date back to? The problem in Iran is that every time a new regime is established after any political change or revolution – and it has been this way since the emperor Cyrus – it has always tried to destroy any evidence of previous rulers. The paintings in Esfahan at Chehel Sotoon3 (Forty Pillars) have five or six layers on top of each other, each person painting their own version on top of the last. In Iran, there is outrage at the previous system. Photography grew during the Qajar era until Ahmad Shah Qajar,4 and then Reza Shah5 of the Pahlavi dynasty. Reza Shah held a grudge against the Qajars and so during the Pahlavi reign anything from the Qajar era was forbidden. It is said that Reza Shah trampled over fifteen thousand glass [photographic] plates in one day at the Golestan Palace,6 shattering them all. Before the 1979 revolution, there was only one book in print by Badri Atabai, with a few photographs from the Qajar era. Every other photography book has been printed since the revolution, including the late Dr Zoka’s7 book, the Afshar book, and Semsar’s book, all printed after the revolution8.

The project was commissioned by the local ruler, Oljeitu, and it is considered by historians as a prime example of the architectural style pioneered in the Il-Khanid dynasty. The dome has a diameter of approximately 25 meters and reaches a height of 49 meters. The double shelled dome rests on a vertical drum which is supported on an octagonal base with a series of pointed arches and detailed muqarnas. 8 short minarets are radially arrayed around the dome. The dome is constructed entirely out of herringbone-patterned brick with no wooden or iron tension rings. A layer of thin decorative tile adorns the outside of the dome. For the past half-century, the dome has received intensive renovation work after centuries of disrepair. Figure 1: The Soltaniyeh dome as seen in 2011 after modern reconstruction efforts on the dome.
