Photographer Hrair Sarkissian: Through These Traumas | Louisiana Channel
“We need to look around us.”
We met prize-winning photographer Hrair Sarkissan from Syria, whose thought-provoking images show us the presence of the absence.
“Most of the work I do is pretty much related to history. Even though something happened decades or centuries ago, it's still very relevant today because there’s so much emotion, feeling, and tragedy there.”
“And for me, the most interesting, the most important thing in my work is the emotions of the people all over the world who live through these traumas. If you pass in front of these images without knowing what they are, I don't think you would stand in front of them and have a very long gaze at each image. But once you realize the title, that's where you get a wake-up call.”
“I am driven by or attracted to the idea of the invisible things we keep seeing. I want to wake up the viewer because we keep doing the same things that we did 100, 200, 300 years ago.”
Hrair Sarkissian (b. 1973 in Syria) lives in London. He earned foundational training at his father’s photographic studio in Damascus and is considered one of the leading conceptual photographers of his generation. Spanning photography, moving images, sculpture, sound, and installation, Sarkissian’s practice creates meditative dreamscapes in some moments and deathscapes in others-sites where the muted voice, absent from the frame, is temporarily offered space to breathe.
Sarkissian is on the Advisory Board of the Arab Image Foundation in Beirut. His 2020 exhibition at The Modern Art Museum of Forth Worth, curated by Dr. Omar Kholeif, was the first solo exhibition of a Syrian artist in the United States. Selected recent exhibitions include the British Art Show 9, the 14th Sharjah Biennial, the Brighton Photo Biennial, the Sursock Museum in Beirut, the Imperial War Museum in London, the Baltic Contemporary Art Centre in Newcastle, the 10th Bamako Encounters African Biennial of Photography, the Armenian Pavilion at the 56th Venice Biennial (awarded the Golden Lion), Tate Modern in London, the New Museum in New York, and the Mori Art Museum in Tokyo.
His mid-career survey exhibition opened in October 2021 at the Sharjah Art Foundation and toured the Bonniers Museum in Stockholm (2022) and the Bonnefanten Museum in Maastricht (2022/23). The exhibition brought together two major new commissions and more than a dozen of his most significant bodies of work from the preceding 15 years.
Hrair Sarkissian was interviewed by Anders Mørch in March 2024. The recording took place at Fotografisk Center in Copenhagen, Denmark, in connection with Sarkissian’s exhibition, The Presence of Absence.

It is important to not Glory a person, or town or land, One China women said, you can find ghettos anywhere, or Rich even in Denmark
This meant a lot to me. Thank you.
Incredible person. I like to go and travel Africa, kind of like that. But I am afraid 😅

Mr. Holdt is a truly amazing storyteller - He had one mission in life, to show the world the true colors of the United States.
true artist
I really appreciated this, thank you so much ❤
Where can I watch the full video?
So brilliant - her imagination is wondrous and so expansive!

photography has become just "too pretty" in general ?
This was very educational as well as heart rendingly beautiful, it takes a Dane to show America!

Thanks.so much dear Jakob for the extraordinary Love you' ve expressed all your life through and up to these days... Love you Patricia from Ftance
Thanks so much for sharing this strong and brutally honest story. Jacob’s images are exceptional.
Beautiful work by Jacob Holdt
Is that for real? I don't know what to call this. Or maybe I know nothing about art.
The narration is just as enjoyable as Andy Warhol's perfomance
I'm so happy to have found this channel!!! What a beautiful place.
That's Knowledge playing God is a dj stuff; this guy is not alone... :-) Thanx for making music, dude... <3 X 3
when you have that "crazy' smile like a seasoned yogi you got "it"
I am so sad... I loved his books.
This channel is run by creeps and is horrible. Obviously you can tell I’m right by the absence of views and comments.
This is the type of art that people with no talent will like as the is is the only thing they can do. Create a mess like a child.

Thank you for these moments and thoughts.

Rest in Peace Paul Auster
Crumb looks bored and tired from the start of this interview... and it's made even worse by the 400lb (Plus)... guy stumbling through the questions... Crumb looks so small in comparison to the fat guy... just like one of his many images.... LOL... I have been a fan of Crumb since 1970... Yep I'm THAT old. Crumb was the gateway for young guys (I was 12 when I saw my first Crumb magazine)... the sheer rawness and unblinking images of sex with really thick girls with giant butts (in 1970 wasn't in fashion) I could see that I wasn't alone in my desire for these girls... I went on to work in the art world with my own drawings... I went to CalArts with the Disney animators.... influenced secretly by Crumb in my personal artwork.... (sigh) those were the days... hippie chicks were the best!
How can you do all this work and still use the words "ghettos" and "blacks" and "ghetto blacks" (?!) and "blacks dealing with... things" to describe what you know? To still have such stubbornly outdated Danish descriptions? How can you really be so intimately connected to the 'subjects' you photograph and still use dehumanizing language. age should make us wiser. i guess when your language is photography your words stay underdeveloped and neglected? And a full hour... in proportion to all the other videos... we get validated, time spent, and 'beautified' through the white lens :-(
Imagine a writer that never reads
I was almost escorted out because i was so entranced i started reading through the pamphlets on the table's and security wasn't sure if that was actually allowed or not.
I'm at an age where I can say I'm put off by artist opinning about art. So much of it is just crap. Mental masturbation. "Existential", "totemic", "gnomic"....blech. "contextualization"...that ought to be in there too. Just shut up and paint.
I am new to this work of Mr. Jacob Holdt. Some very powerful images. Very articulate gentleman and he explained the power of love very well. Thank you very much for your enlightenment.
Great Story
Two Parent households are CRITICALLY IMPORTANT
