Mekhitar Garabedian

My shelter is naught; that which leaks from the roof drops on the script and ruins it.

Deploying a variety of media such as drawing, video, photography and installations, many of Mekhitar Garabedian’ s works draw from his experience as an immigrant and play on the humour and poetic qualities he finds between languages, cultures and histories. Just as his personal diasporic history is layered, his work echoes with a multiplicity of references to literature, music, philosophy and visual arts.
