Award-winning, world-renowned London-based photographer will exhibit a collection of photographs tracing the memory of Genocide through April 22nd.
"The mulberry trees stand watch, regarding the passage of time in Agacli, a small Turkish town on the dusty Anatolian plains. These trees have a silent story to tell us - in death, life returns."
Memory of Trees, curated by Annalisa D'Angelo, features the work of photographer Kathryn Cook as she traced the memory of the Armenian Genocide across Turkey, Syria, Lebanon, Armenia, Israel and France. The core of Cook's work revolves around the Turkish town of Agacli, which recently restored an Armenian silk weaving tradition. The land, the trees and the silk all symbolize the Armenian's enduring legacy on their ancient homeland.
The collection of color and black and white images follows the remains and traces of an ambiguous, dark history of the Genocide - the definition of which is still being fought over a century later.
Kathryn Cook (b. 1979) is based in London, England, and represented by Agence VU'. Her work has appeared in publications including The New Yorker, The New York Times Magazine, and TIME. She has received several grants for this work including the Inge Morath Award (2008), The Aftermath Project grant (2008), the Enzo Baldoni award (2008) and the Alexia Foundation Judges Recognition grant (2012).
