Kharabat: Vol. 1 (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9798988428060)

Kharabat Vol. 1, by Tehran-based artist Farhad Qashqai, is a found-photo book documenting the all-male world of Iran's Kharabatis-a working-class subculture rooted in brotherhood, street rituals, and ancestral defiance. Sourced from digital relics, personal albums, and online ephemera, the book moves through prisons, gyms, living rooms, and city streets, revealing a world where loyalty is scripture, masculinity is sacred, and life itself is seen as Kharabat: ruins.
