About Alexandre Bagdassarian

I’m a photographer of French-Armenian origin, born in 1992. After my studies at ENSAD (The School of Decorative Art in Paris) I lived in Chile where I made my first feature-length documentary, “Les Naufragés” (2013-2017) in the Atacama Desert. With “The Color of the Pomegranate” (2022-2023), I investigated the traces that 30 years of conflict and the memory of a genocide have imprinted on the Armenian youth. Since the beginning of 2024, I’ve been working on a photographic project focusing a very sensitive subject, the juvenile prisons of France, with the support of the ADAGP grant. Alongside my personal projects and exhibitions, I regularly collaborate with the press as well as with non-profit institutions and NGOs.
