Photographing Armenian Khachkars (Cross-Stones)

In June 2024, we traveled to Armenia to photograph over 200 khachkars (cross-stones), at 25 locations across the country. David Lebrun and Alex Hager, seen here lighting and photographing khachkars in Hovhannavank, are now working with these photographs to create an animation for the Transfigurations: Reanimating the Past immersive exhibition project. Transfigurations animations give viewers new ways of experiencing ancient art. Through installations of glowing and changing forms, viewers explore representations of our bodies, of the visible world around us, and of the invisible worlds of belief and cosmology.
