Paperback. Memory of Trees is a dark and startling reminder of an all too often forgotten genocide committed against Armenians in the early 1900s by the once powerful Ottoman Empire. Since 2007, Kathryn Cook travelled between Turkey and Armenia and on to Syria, Lebanon and Israel unearthing the shameful truth whilst giving a voice to its survivors and legacy. The resulting collection of images emphasise the emotional tonality of the story rather than documenting specific events, and ensure this overlooked genocide finally finds a voice and some sense of closure. In her photo series Kathryn Cook explores the aftermath of the "denied" 1915 Armenian genocide in Ottoman Turkey. Shipping may be from our Sydney, NSW warehouse or from our UK or US warehouse, depending on stock availability.

In the early 1900s, as the Ottoman Empire collapsed, a fiercely nationalistic movement took power. As with all ideologies, their taking hold meant the termination of what didn't fit its new identity—its Christian Armenian citizens.
Memory of Trees follows the remains and traces of an ambiguous, dark history—the great crime recognized today as genocide by more than a dozen countries. Kathryn Cook traveled across Turkey and Armenia, to Syria, Lebanon, and Israel, sifting through the remains of this legacy and tracking down survivors. Her images emphasize the emotional tonality of the story rather than documenting specific events.
