Mane Hovhannisyan
FABULA (Series)
DESCRIPTION
The main idea of the proposed cycle is to show the different kinds of interaction between humans, objects and places. I've engaged with the issue of transition from three different points of view.
First, there are changeable roles between humans and objects. I have tried to catch and intensify the moments, when the people seem to become totems, and the objects seem enlivened.
Further there is a transition from one place to another, as I've shot the same couple in two different apartments – in Germany and in Armenia. I've focused myself in particular on the state of being in-between and on the capacity of my protagonists to live in two different worlds simultaneously.
At last but not least, I've tried to show the passage from the inner world to the outer world and vice versa.
The cycle consists of 20 images with their own story order, but here I send only 5 of them because of your requirements.
