BIOGRAPHY

Alborz Teymoorzadeh is a Brussels-based architect and visual artist working across spatial research, photography, video, and illustration. With foundations in architecture and theatre, his practice examines how image and structure shape human experience. Guided by systems thinking and critical spatial practice, he creates visual narratives that respond to cultural, psychological, and social contexts. Operating independently, he conceives, produces, and disseminates his projects—inhabiting a hybrid role between artist and curator.

Born in northern Iran, Teymoorzadeh’s early immersion in poetry, painting, and traditional music nurtured an intuitive grasp of rhythm and structure. After receiving his degree in architecture in 2011, he shifted toward theatre-based image-making, blending documentation, scenography, and narrative construction. Over the years, he has collaborated on numerous productions, evolving a position he describes as “artist-curator”—a practitioner who spans conception, execution and production, communication, and archiving, shifting the focus on invisible aspects of an artist’s life.

His work has been featured in some exhibitions and cultural platforms in Europe, US and Iran. His first solo exhibition, Éternelles Instantanéités—curated by Enrico Lunghi in Wiltz, in periphery of Luxembourg—mapped biological, psychological, cultural, and social dimensions of being through gesture, space, and architectural form. Though presented in his absence due to legal complications, the exhibition reaffirmed his deep engagement with regional cultural discourse.

Now based in Brussels, Teymoorzadeh continues to pursue site-specific and research-driven projects. His approach centers on the transformative potential of art and architecture at the micro scale—shifting how we perceive, build, and relate to the world. As both theorist and maker, he navigates the tensions between independence and infrastructure, presence and absence, aesthetic force and lived vulnerability, which shape both our individual and collective identity.
