Multiple Library (Mesrob), 2006. This work combines an image of (Saint) Mesrob Mashtots, the inventor of the Armenian alphabet with a page from Arnold Toynbee’s Armenian Atrocities, The Murder of a Nation (published in 1915), of which all the lines but one have been erased with a black marker by the artist. Library (Mesrob), 2006 brings together the themes of language in diaspora and that of hauntology, the presence of unresolved histories in the present.
