Souvenir (green) was made on the occasion of the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Wall through a trace of a piece of the Berlin Wall. Karapetian contact printed the acetate negative onto color photographic paper, making five prints plus 2 artist proofs; the colors of the five prints in the edition represent each of the colors that were extant in the piece of the wall that the artist traced. Karapetian then hand-cut each print around the silhouette of the actual fragment of wall. The resulting prints are part image, part object – souvenirs not only of the Berlin Wall but of the artist’s time spent investigating its surface. The print is green and is framed with a white background.
