| Summary: | "Diana Markosian: Father presents the photographer's journey to another place and another time, where Markosian attempts to piece together an image of a familiar stranger--her long-lost father. The book explores her father's absence, her reconciliation with him, and the shared emptiness of their prolonged estrangement. The images, made over the course of a decade, take place in her father's home in Armenia. In Markosian's first monograph, Santa Barbara (Aperture, 2020), the photographer recreates the story of her family's journey from post-Soviet Russia to the US in the 1990s. Father uses both documentary photographs and archives of objects, letters, and vernacular images to probe the fifteen years of absence and separation from the photographer's childhood. In this voyage of self-discovery, Markosian touchingly renders her longing for connection to a man she barely remembers and who asks her, when she finds him, 'Why did it take you so long?'"--Publisher's website. |
