Conversation with Silina Syan
During her residency at Triangle-Astérides from September to December 2021, Silina Syan carried out research at the heart of the Association for Research and Archiving of Armenian Memory (ARAM) in Marseille.
For Bruise Magazine, the artist reconnects through a series of voice messages with Camille Ramanana Rahary, reflecting on a set of images captured with her own mobile phone. These images document the encounters that marked her visits to ARAM, her relationship to archives, her working methodologies, the questions that inform her practice, as well as her cultural and familial heritage.
Silina Syan extends her thanks to Astrid Artin-Loussikian and all the volunteers at ARAM. The footage in this video was filmed in the artist’s studio at Triangle-Astérides and within the archive itself, with the kind permission of the association.
