Sifting through emails and photos from the last month and it feels really good to be getting caught up! I found this shot from @michlersflorist when we were in Lexington for @joreddzoff's wedding, and yeah..I love greenhouses and will never NOT take photos of that place. Me and @chandra.rae MAY be getting a roomie who's a horticulturist...........😍🌿🌺 #TEACHMEEEEE [@jaxiecatz NO PRESSURE. 😆] . #thatsdarling #apartmenttherapy #sodomino #mydomaine #anthrophoto #designsponge (at Michler Florist, Greenhouses, and Gardens)
My photographic practice is part of my interdisciplinary research that researches the way in which materiality impacts on memory, postmemory, trauma and forgetting of the Armenian Genocide (1915-18). Each photograph is a set of one’s belongings. The expanded white area, the portrait format as well as the titles of the images echo biographical data and legal documents. The project title was found stamped on their proofs of identity given to the Armenians when entering Greece. These still lifes restore the loss of individuality resulted by deportations and are an attempt to portray not only my ancestors but also a whole generation of the Armenian Diaspora. If the experience of exile constitute of whom those people were, these portraits manifest exile from a present scope. Titles: 1.Avedis Agazaryan (1889-1965) Barber, born in the Adana Province, Ottoman Empire. 2.Honik Chatzeryan (1893-1969) Goldsmith, born in Selanik, Central Macedonia. 3.Zadik Marderosyan (1893-1975) Gunsmith, born in Izmir, Asia Minor. 4.Chrepsime Agazaryan (1906-1983) Housewife, born in the Adana Province of the Ottoman Empire. 5.Sarkis Kasparyan (1912-1970) Painter, born in Eskisehir, Asia Minor.
