Nazraeli Press published Susan A. Zadeh’s first monograph, “Drowned in a Dream” to critical acclaim in Spring of 2019, and we are delighted to announce her first contribution to our One Picture Book Two series.

Comprising ten self-portraits made specially for this book, “I” is an intimate, vaguely surreal take on a timeless approach to image making, with the artist herself as the subject.

Persian by ancestry and birth, Zadeh moved to France as a child, and then to Holland as a teenager. She has lived in Amsterdam ever since. Originally trained as a classical dancer, after a 12-year career at the Dutch National Ballet in Amsterdam she turned to photography and publishing. Zadeh became well-known as a champion of outsider artists through her seminal art magazine “Eyemazing”, which ran from 2002 to 2013 and which received a coveted Lucie Award. Since then, she has concentrated on her own work as an artist.

Limited to 500 numbered copies, each book includes a 5x7 inch original print that has been signed by the artist.
