2018 - publication of "one person died"
One person died is a publication that follows on one hand and documents the thematic work of artist Alina Mnatsakanian on the Armenian Genocide. The publication consists of two books. A 500-page artist’s book in which the phrase “one person died” is repeated 1,500,000 times in reference to the victims of the Armenian genocide. It is a recognition of each person killed during this genocide, a necessary repetition that allows us to visualize the immensity of such a crime. The second volume is a booklet containing texts, accompanied by visual documents, about the corpus of works One Person Died and its origins in the work of Alina Mnatsakanian, each in the original language of the authors, with an English translation next to them. The authors are: Karine Tissot, Center for Contemporary Art, Yverdon- les-Bains; Mario Casanova, Museo e Centro d’Arte Contemporaneo del Ticino, Bellinzona; Alice Henkes, art critic, Biel; Ramela Grigorian, Los Angeles Pierce College; Suren Manukyan, deputy director of the Armenian Genocide Museum and Institute, Yerevan.
