Armenian-American artist Diana Markosian’s Father + The World Came Flooding In by Isobel Knowles and Van Sowerwine will be exhibiting at MAPh across the summer months.
From 21 November 2026 until 14 February 2027, audiences will be able to view the work of internationally renowned photographer Diana Markosian, and participate in the heartfelt VR installation by Van Sowerwine and Isobel Knowles.
Father by Diana Markosian traces the artist’s decade-long journey to reconstruct the image of her long-lost father and confront the emotional void left by his absence. Fifteen years after their separation, and with no address to guide her, Markosian travelled to Armenia in search of a man who had become a stranger to her.
Set largely within her father’s home, the work weaves together documentary photographs, archival objects, letters, vernacular images, and writing to explore memory as layered, fragmented, and deeply personal.
The World Came Flooding In is an immersive and sensitive portrayal of life before, during and after natural disaster.
Through virtual reality, projections, detailed miniatures, photographs and sound, The World Came Flooding In explores the rich inner world that remains when everything is washed away. Hear from three flood-affected individuals – Marina, Antoinette and Tom – as they share their personal stories of living through climate disaster.
