FATHER

Behind Santa Barbara, Father is an intimate and captivating story of estrangement and reunion. It combines documentary photographs, family snapshots, texts and archival documents. Diana Markosian attempts to reconstruct the image of a familiar stranger: her father, whom she has lost sight of since she was seven years old. The book explores his absence, the artist's reconciliation with him almost twenty years later, when she is reunited with him in Armenia, and the shared emptiness of their long separation.
