ARTIST’s BIO
Ted and Nune are a photographic team whose work is inspired by the man-made world. Seeking out the spiritual dimension in monumental human constructions, they journey to remote lands to make studies of architecture and industry, bringing a joint male-female point of view to their shared vision. Both photograph, edit, and print. They do not sign their works individually.
Since 2015, their collaboration has produced several internationally recognized long-term projects, including Stone and Candle, a contemplation of Armenian monasteries, first monasteries of the Christian world, Desert Agreement, a study of modern Dubai architecture, Urban Currents, an abstraction of cities’ energy.
In 2023, they published their first book with Kehrer Verlag, Stone and Candle: Armenian Monasteries, a meditation on sacred architecture across Armenia and Artsakh. Their work on Armenian cultural heritage continued with the 2024 inclusion of their film on the Armenian Fortresses of Cilicia in the permanent collection of the History Museum of Armenia.
Their work has been exhibited in both solo and group exhibitions in Armenia, Japan, Russia and the United States.
