Armenia holds dichotomies: ancient Christianity with Urartian history; remnants of the Silk Road mixed with contemporary amenities. On his first visit, Harruthoonyan felt dichotomies of his own: the pull of a place that had never been to before, but somehow remembered; the comfort of coming home, with the brutality of genocide. In "Black Garden," he explores the multiplicity of this feeling. Here, clear images of landscapes turn into blurry reflections through the lens of the Claude Glass and then etched and washed away. Afterward, "Mercury," the Greek messenger of the gods rises to carry the souls of the dead to their final resting place. We follow the journey of heritage being carried into a new life, and, finally, the ancient process of re-generation, as earth takes back the matter it has lent to humanity, and churns it, again, into something new for the next generation.
