Farrah Karapetian’s works are photograms: photographs that are made without cameras or film by placing objects on light sensitive paper and exposing them to light. The result becomes the profile of the image on the paper, which varies in darkness based on the translucency of the object and the amount of time it was exposed to the light. Farrah’s process animates the everyday object, imbuing it with light, washing it in color, and reminding us of the wonder that is always at hand.
Farrah Karapetian grew up in Los Angeles, CA. She received her BA in Fine Art from Yale University and her MFA degree from UCLA. Farrah lives in Los Angeles where she just finished building-out a new studio to house her large-scale installations that combine flat photography with constructed life-sized architectural spaces. Her work has been shown at Centre d'Art Contemporain, Parc Saint-Léger, France; Superfront, Brooklyn, NY; Sandroni.Rey, Los Angeles, CA; the Aspen Art Museum, Aspen, CO; and the Geoffrey Young Gallery, Great Barrington, MA. Amidst her larger practice of creating ambitious installations, Farrah makes photograms of small domestic objects, as exemplified in her prints for New Editions.
