Nanda Gonzague: Alessandra Capodacqua and Lorenza Bravetta's pick
The series Hayastan, l'Arménie retrouvée by Nanda Gonzague were
selected by Alessandra Capodacqua (Curator) and Lorenza Bravetta
(Magnum Photo) during portfolio review at the Gaite Lyrique on the 15
and 16 November 2014.
Armenia is mostly known for the 1915 genocide and the earthquake of
1988. I wanted to explore another aspect of this land where power,
hope and disillusion have been found in equal measure since its
independence twenty years ago. On the ruins of communism, Armenian
youth, filled with dreams, look to the future, while older generations
often display a nostalgia for the past.
Between 2007 and 2010, I traveled across Armenia, from the Iranian
border to the Turkish border, passing through the autonomous region of
Nagorno-Karabakh, in an attempt to understand what was at stake for
its people after 3,000 years of history, 1,500 years of domination and
20 years of independence.
