“Silence IV” (Լռության կաթիլային) Anna Grigorian, Armenia-Canada, 2023
“Silence IV” (Լռության կաթիլային)was created in April 2023, during the nine-month blockade of Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh). Between the alarming and scary news coming from home, and the calm reality of every-day life abroad, the artist is trying to make sense of the two realities through art. Playing with lights on interior surfaces Anna Grigorian is working through the conflicts between her immediate surroundings and split identity. The work was shot on a cellphone.
