Career

In the early 1980s Nour documented the Iran–Iraq War while focusing on the social effects of war on society. His work of this period became the core of his "History Recalls" project.[1] While most of his work is based on traditional street photography until 2006 as seen in his Momento series, which was mostly in black and white, he later changed to color photography and started to focus on conceptual themes such as in his Movements in Adagio series. In April 2009 his work 12 Panels of Life in Gozo was shown at the Armenian Library and Museum of America.[2] This work focused on the culture of conflict in Victoria, the capital of Gozo in Malta. It was a collaboration between Nour and Norbert Francis Attard. This exhibit was titled Here, There and Everywhere: Anticipating the Art of the Future and was juried by the Transcultural Exchange. The purpose of the project was to encourage artists to work with others in different parts of the world to create collaborative artworks and to explore, foster and document the resulting cross-fertilization, multi-disciplinary, "out-of-the-box" thinking in order to encourage more of the same in both artistic and non-artistic disciplines.
