Samvel Baghdasaryan

Haun(t)remor

Installation, 2000

Samvel Baghdasaryan’s HAUN(T) REMOR medium-based installation is a rectangular plane spread out horizontally and made of a layer of metal dust particles, which turns into a unique electronic scoreboard when the magnets hidden under the dust particles connect to an electric current. Under the influence of an electromagnetic field, they rotate and position themselves, enabling Armenian letters to appear and disappear on the plane’s surface; the word HETAPNDOGH becomes visible, and due to the operation of the electric relay being three-phase, the word disappears in parts. Here, at this second intermediate stage, the drama of chance appears. The disappearance of the beginning of the word reveals that the letter combination on the board also suggests a separate word, DOGH, which is not noticeable when the word HETAPNDOGH is fully displayed. — Nazareth Karoyan
