Symbolic Installation of Imprisonment

484
This installation symbolizes Sergei Parajanov’s imprisonment. A faceless figure in white, with bound hands, stands on a circular platform surrounded by pomegranates—an Armenian symbol of life, death, and rebirth. The white attire suggests prison isolation, and the facelessness conveys dehumanization. The piece reflects Parajanov’s Soviet prison experience, highlighting themes of oppression, resilience, and artistic freedom.
