About the Work
Created in 1972, this historic series commemorates the Minsk Ghetto in the ancient Nemiga district. Joseph Kapelyan captures the somber memory of the site exactly 30 years after the tragic WWII mass liquidations.
The Medium
Kapelyan masterfully chose mezzotint, a labor-intensive printmaking technique where shapes are burnished out of total darkness. This process creates a haunting, velvet-black atmosphere where light softly emerges, perfectly reflecting the weight of historical memory.
