ACROSS THE BODY












This autobiographical video documents the pilgrimage to the Holy city Jerusalem. By the end of the journey, the artist marks her body with BADGE OF PRIDE (HAJJI TATTOO) an iconographic image tattooed on her right arm as her Armenian cultural religious heritage.

And in contrast, this body project experience transcends from its traditional religiousness to become a pure form of self-narration, self-construction and a live archive of her breathing identity.
