This research uses 3D drawing techniques to create a re-composition of the lost April 11 Memorial, a contested monument which commemorated the deportation of Armenian intellectuals from Istanbul in 1915. We use the only photograph of the monument remaining in the public record as a witness to inform this re-composition and multiply the possibilities of remembering through the medium of drawing. The memorial's absence in the archive can be viewed as an extension of the violence Armenians endured during the deportations and subsequent massacres of the twentieth century, as well as a prolonged suppression of the Armenian people's right to memory within Turkey's unequal historical geography. For this reason, we represent the monument in a new way, in a new medium. Our research explores the value of non-physical reproductions of lost monuments. The re-composition takes place through making a visual and spatial analysis of the photograph, and reveals how drawing techniques, that use 3-dimensional projections, can be used to overcome the absence of knowledge. This method allows us to speculate on the lost monument, to reappropriate and carry it to the present by producing a new visual archive. This act also calls for the profanation, in Agamben's sense, of the memorial by unsettling and removing this forbidden object from the realm of the sacred and the inviolable. Through play and design, we open up a new use and space for the lost memorial.

令人不安的重组:伊斯坦布尔丢失的亚美尼亚 4 月 11 日纪念碑

这项研究使用 3D 绘图技术重新组合丢失的 4 月 11 日纪念碑,这是一座有争议的纪念碑,用于纪念 1915 年亚美尼亚知识分子从伊斯坦布尔被驱逐出境。我们使用公共记录中唯一保留的纪念碑照片作为见证告知这种重新构图,并通过绘画媒介增加记忆的可能性。纪念碑在档案中的缺席可以被视为亚美尼亚人在二十世纪的驱逐和随后的屠杀期间所遭受的暴力的延伸,以及在土耳其不平等的历史地理范围内对亚美尼亚人民的记忆权的长期压制。出于这个原因,我们以一种新的方式,一种新的媒介来代表这座纪念碑。我们的研究探索了失落古迹的非实物复制品的价值。重新构图是通过对照片进行视觉和空间分析来进行的,并揭示了如何使用 3 维投影的绘图技术来克服知识的缺失。这种方法使我们能够推测丢失的纪念碑,通过制作新的视觉档案来重新调整并将其带到现在。在阿甘本的意义上,这一行为还要求通过从神圣和不可侵犯的领域中扰乱和移除这个被禁止的对象来亵渎纪念馆。通过游戏和设计,我们为失落的纪念馆开辟了新的用途和空间。使用 3 维投影,可以用来克服知识的缺乏。这种方法使我们能够推测丢失的纪念碑,通过制作新的视觉档案来重新调整并将其带到现在。在阿甘本的意义上,这一行为还要求通过从神圣和不可侵犯的领域中扰乱和移除这个被禁止的对象来亵渎纪念馆。通过游戏和设计,我们为失落的纪念馆开辟了新的用途和空间。使用 3 维投影,可以用来克服知识的缺乏。这种方法使我们能够推测丢失的纪念碑,通过制作新的视觉档案来重新调整并将其带到现在。在阿甘本的意义上,这一行为还要求通过从神圣和不可侵犯的领域中扰乱和移除这个被禁止的对象来亵渎纪念馆。通过游戏和设计,我们为失落的纪念馆开辟了新的用途和空间。
