The structural characteristics of water, from its lack of form, color and taste, to its intrinsic movement (its death while resting), transparency (as in glass) and reflection (as in mirror), turned it to an insightful and fantastic subject for photography. The photography of water by Zekrgoo goes particularly beyond these characteristics and alludes to water in the spiritual realm, rather indirectly or directly by supplementing explicit symbols such as mosque. This article investigates the coherence of tradition and modernity in the artworks of Zekrgoo through an analysis of the form of the photographs, and a comparative study of their explicit and implicit spiritual connotations by a semiological approach. Among Zekrgoo photographs, the “mystical water” and “images of illusion” are chosen to answer questions such as: “what are the latent meanings behind the aesthetical appearance of the photographs” and “whether such meanings relate to spirituality and tradition-modernity dichotomy. اﻟﮭﺎم و ﻣﺘﻤﺎﯾﺰ وﺟﮫ ﺑﮫ اﺷﺎرﺗﯽ اﻧﺘﺰاﻋﯽ، ﯾﺎ واﻗﻌﮕﺮاﯾﺎﻧﮫ ﺻﻮر در و ﮔﻮﻧﺎﮔﻮن اﻧﺤﺎء ﺑﮫ ﻋﮑﺎﺳﯽ، آﺛﺎر در آب ﻣﺎﯾﺔ ﺑﻦ ﺑﺮوز و ظﮭﻮر ﺣﺮﮐﺖ ﺑﻮدن ذاﺗﯽ ﺗﺎ طﻌﻤﯽ ﺑﯽ و رﻧﮕﯽ ﺑﯽ ﺷﮑﻠﯽ، ﺑﯽ از آب ﺳﺎﺧﺘﺎری ﺧﺼﻮﺻﯿﺎت واﻗﻊ در. دارد ھﻨﺮی ﺧﻠﻖ در ﻋﻨﺼﺮ اﯾﻦ ﺑﺨﺶ در اﻧﮕﯿﺰ ﺧﯿﺎل و ﺗﺄﻣﻞ ﻗﺎﺑﻞ ﻣﻮﺿﻮﻋﯽ ﺑﮫ را آن( آﯾﻨﮫﻣﺎﻧﻨﺪ) اﻧﻌﮑﺎس و( ﺷﯿﺸﮫﻣﺎﻧﻨﺪ) ﻓﺮاﻧﻤﺎﯾﯽ ﻗﺎﺑﻠﯿﺖ،( اﯾﺴﺘﺎﯾﯽ ﺻﻮرت درﻣﺮگ) آن در و داﺷﺘﮫ ﻧﻈﺮ آب ﻣﻌﻨﻮی ﺳﺎﺣﺖ ﺑﮫ ھﺎ، ﺷﺎﺧﺺ اﯾﻦ از ﻓﺮاروی ﺑﺎ ذﮐﺮﮔﻮ، آﻗﺎی ﻋﮑﺴﮭﺎی ﺧﺎص، طﻮر ﺑﮫ. اﺳﺖ ﻧﻤﻮده ﺑﺪل ﻋﮑﺎﺳﯽ ﻣﺨﺎطﺐ ﻧﮕﺎه ﻣﻌﺮض در ﻏﯿﺮﻣﺴﺘﻘﯿﻢ، طﻮر ﺑﮫ ﮔﺎه و ﻣﺴﺠﺪ ﻧﻈﯿﺮ ﺻﺮﯾﺢ ھﺎی ﻧﺸﺎﻧﮫ ﺑﺎ آب ھﻤﻨﺸﯿﻨﯽ طﺮﯾﻖ از ﮔﺎه را ﻧﻈﺮ ﻣﻮرد ﻣﻌﻨﺎی ﺗﻄﺒﯿﻘﯽ ﺷﯿﻮة ﺑﮫ را آﺛﺎر ﻣﺤﺘﻮای ﺿﻤﻨﯽ و ﺻﺮﯾﺢ دﻻﻟﺘﮭﺎی ﻓﺮم، ﺗﺤﻠﯿﻞ و ﺗﺠﺰﯾﮫ ﺿﻤﻦ ﺣﺎﺿﺮ ﻧﻮﺷﺘﺎر ﻣﺪﻋﺎ، اﯾﻦ اﺛﺒﺎت در. دھﺪ ﻣﯽ ﻗﺮار و ﺳﻨﺖ ﺗﻼﺋﻢ آن، ﭘﺮﺗﻮ در و آب ﻣﻌﻨﻮی ﻓﺤﻮای ﺑﺮرﺳﯽ ﯾﻌﻨﯽ ﭘﮋوھﺶ ھﺪف ﺷﻨﺎﺳﺎﻧﮫ، ﻧﺸﺎﻧﮫ روﯾﮑﺮدی ﺑﺎ و داده ﻗﺮار ﻣﺪاﻗﮫ ﻣﻮرد ﺳﺮی از ھﺎﯾﯽ ﻋﮑﺲ ذﮐﺮﮔﻮ، آﻗﺎی ﻋﮑﺎﺳﯽ آﺛﺎر آﻣﺎری ﺟﺎﻣﻌﮫ ﻣﯿﺎن از ﻣﻨﻈﻮر ﺑﺪﯾﻦ. ﻧﻤﺎﯾﺪ ﻣﯽ دﻧﺒﺎل را ھﻨﺮﻣﻨﺪ اﯾﻦ آﺛﺎر در ﻣﺪرﻧﯿﺘﮫ ھﺎ ﻋﮑﺲ زﯾﺒﺎﺷﻨﺎﺳﺎﻧﺔ ﻓﺮم ﭘﺲدر" : ﺷﻮد داده ﭘﺎﺳﺦ ذﯾﻞ ھﺎی ﭘﺮﺳﺶ ﺑﮫ ﺗﺎ اﻧﺪ ﺷﺪه اﻧﺘﺨﺎب" ﺗﻮھﻢ ازﺗﺼﺎوﯾﺮی" و" ﻣﻌﻨﻮیآب" ﺗﺼﺎوﯾﺮ دارد؟ ارﺗﺒﺎط ﻣﺪرﻧﯿﺘﮫ و ﺳﻨﺖ ﻣﻌﻨﻮﯾﺖ، ﺑﺎ ﻣﻌﻨﺎ اﯾﻦآﯾﺎ" و" اﺳﺖ؟ ﻧﮭﻔﺘﮫ ﻣﻌﻨﺎﯾﯽﭼﮫ" Keywords: water in the photographic works, distinctive and inspiring aspect of this element in the creation of art, death in the event of stagnation, H.
