Sour Counterfeits is a mobile forgery lab, where fruit leather documents are produced. Using the maternal Armenian tradition of fruit leather making as a mnemonic device for cultural preservation, “Sour Counterfeits” pulls from a larger collective memory, serving as a vessel through which deracinated testimonials of trans-generational trauma circulate beyond territory, language and citizenship.
