Cyrus Mahboubian (b. 1986, London) is a British-Iranian artist known for his contemplative approach to photography and his continued use of analogue materials, especially Polaroid. He has stated that his intentionally slow process is a response to the increasing influence of technology in modern life.
His work has been exhibited in solo and group shows in London, Paris, Los Angeles, Moscow, Istanbul and Dubai, and he has taught workshops at venues including Tate Britain and The Photographers’ Gallery. Recent projects include a site-specific commission for Soho House Greek Street in London. Last year he published his first photobook, VISCERA (which launched at Sotheby's London in May 2019 followed by book signings and/or talks at London Art Book Fair at Whitechapel Gallery, Sketch and Soho Farmhouse), and his work was included in the major exhibition Lande: the Calais "Jungle" and Beyond at the Pitt Rivers Museum, Oxford - his first institutional show.
