Work

For the Berlin Biennial she collaborated with ninety-eight-year-old designer Janette Laverrière to create a set for her furniture design.[6][7]

In 2017, Baghramian's exhibition, Déformation Professionnelle was at display in the Stedelijk Museum voor Actuele Kunst.[8] This exhibition in culminates the artist's 18 sets of works from 1999 to 2016.[8] Déformation Professionnelle exhibits the artist's oeuvre while alluding to other existing works in her field. By using sculpture elements and photography in a site-responsive practice she questions the traditional views towards the relationship between the human body's gestures and its functions.[9]
