Foam is proud to present the exhibition Father by artist Diana Markosian. This is the first time the exhibition is shown in its entirety. Father  traces Markosian’s journey of reconnecting with her estranged father through documentary photography, family snapshots, and archival materials. 

At the age of seven, Diana Markosian and her brother were taken from their home in Moscow to California by their mother, without a chance to say goodbye to their father. Nearly 20 years later, Markosian travelled back in search of him. The exhibition is a personal exploration of family, loss, and reconnection.  

Diana Markosian (US,1989) is an artist based in New York. By encapsulating different styles and mediums, Markosian has created a unique approach to image making. Her first monograph, Santa Barbara, was published by Aperture in 2020 and selected as the top book of the year by MoMA and Time Magazine. She is a regular contributor to Vanity Fair, Vogue and The New Yorker. Markosian’s second monograph, Father, debuted at Paris Photo 2024. She holds a Masters degree from Columbia University.
