Gohar Martirosyan is an Armenian artist and filmmaker based in Paris. A graduate of Le Fresnoy, her research-based practice explores the connections between displacement, territorial loss, ecological transformation, and geopolitical upheavals. She develops speculative methods for reconstructing inaccessible territories—which she calls “lands of no return”—using archival fragments, environmental traces, and site-specific testimonies. Drawing on hydrofeminist thought, field research, and media archaeology, her work conceives of landscapes as living entities that reveal contested histories, ecological interdependencies, and fragmented memories.
Gohar studied at Le Fresnoy National Studio for Contemporary Arts (FR). She is currently a resident at Fondation Fiminco and Fondation Carré sur Seine (FR). She has received the Prize Art Éco-Conception at Palais de Tokyo 2025 (FR), Studio Collector Prize 2022 (FR), Prize Enowe-Artagon 2023 (FR), արդ եւս|in view Prize by Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation 2024 (PR) and others.
