Biography

Syria 1973. Lives in London.
Hrair Sarkissian earned his foundational training at his father’s photographic studio in Damascus. He is considered one of the leading conceptual photographers of his generation. Spanning photography, moving image, sculpture, sound and installation, Sarkissian’s practice creates meditative dreamscapes in some moments; deathscapes in others—sites where the muted voice, absent from the frame, is temporarily offered space to breathe.
