Gohar Martirosyan a multimedia artist hailing from the post-earthquake Armenian town of
Gyumri and now residing in Paris, immerses herself in the ethereal language of contemporary cinema. She studied under the supervision of Ben Russell, Julian Rosenfeld and Artavazd Peleshyan.
Through archival images and technological processes, her video works creates a dialogue between geographies that have become inaccessible, once inhabited by human activity, originating from the artist's biography. Gohar studies the intricate sets of influences that contribute to the construction of an individual, whether these arise from historical events, cultural practices, social connections, ecological needs, or relationships with living beings.
Gohar Martirosyan studied at Le Fresnoy National Studio for Contemporary Arts (FR). She is currently a resident at Fondation Fiminco and Fondation Carré sur Seine (FR).
She has received the Studio Collector Prize 2022 (FR), Prize Enowe-Artagon 2023 (FR), արդ եւս|in view Prize by Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation 2024 (PR) and others.
