  ARARAT Museum celebrates 100th anniversary of Sergei Parajanov with exhibition January 10, 2024 - 11:51 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - ARARAT Museum of the Yerevan Brandy Company is opening a temporary exhibition dedicated to the 100th anniversary of renowned Armenian filmmaker Sergei Parajanov. Titled “Sergei Parajanov: Uninterrupted Flight”, the exhibition will showcase photographs taken by Parajanov's friend and student, photographer Yuri Mechitov, including the famous photo “Flight”. The photo is considered to be one of the most iconic images of Parajanov and is notable for its unique composition and symbolism. The photo was taken on May 15, 1981, and captures Parajanov's persona as well as his creative genius, as the author of the photo’s composition was Parajanov himself. “It is rather challenging, almost impossible to have a comprehensive analysis of Parajanov’s extraordinary heritage. His works alter our views on visual perception and turn it into a thrilling mystery. Parajanov's whole life was a sincere search for the beautiful and harmonious, and this exhibition offers a glimpse into his world. We are delighted that visitors from Armenia and around the world will have the opportunity to discover the new facets of Mastery, Generosity, Creativity, and Devotion”, noted Zaruhi Saribekyan Communications Manager of Yerevan Brandy Company. The “Sergei Parajanov: Uninterrupted Flight” exhibition premiered in July 2023 and was part of the Rambalkoshe Contemporary Art Museum’s “musæum” project. The exhibition will be open until May 1, 2024.   Top stories The creative crew of the Public TV had chosen 13-year-old Malena as a participant of this year's contest.
