SARAH KASTRAU

Escher’s garden A landscape, organic yet strange. Shapes as if drawn with a ruler, far from any natural structure. As the focus shifts, the landscape changes. Created in memory of the dutch graphic artist M.C. Escher, famous for his work with optical illusions, platonic solids and endless patterns, often based on the shape of the triangle.

Obsure Landscapes “Obscure landscapes” is a small project I’m working as a part of my”Aquarium” series. The idea stems from phrases we have come to listen to often lately, such as “fluid situations”, “unstable economy”, etc.

“Obscure landscapes” is a collection of snapshots that don’t describe anything in particular, but, rather, they stand watching things go by.

Ουράνια Τοπία / Celestial Landscapes “...a rather curious thing, it did not once occur to me, in front of these liquid or aerial feats of magic, to complain of the absence of man.” - Charles Baudelaire My work explores, clouds, celestial landscapes as a visual metaphor, of an internal landscape in search for a personal, social and poetic concept of freedom.

For this work, I used a digital camera and the Lambda printing process on black and white photographic paper.

All photos are 40X60 cm in size and mounted on a Dibond aluminum composite base.

“...Είναι περίεργο, αλλά μπροστά σε αυτήν την ρευστή ή αέρινη μαγεία, ποτέ δεν μου έτυχε να λυπηθώ για την ανθρώπινη απουσία.” - Charles Baudelaire Η δουλειά μου διερευνά τα σύννεφα. Ουράνια τοπία ως οπτικές μεταφορές σε μια διαρκή αναζήτηση της προσωπικής , κοινωνικής και ποιητικής έννοιας της ελευθερίας.

IRINI KORINTHIOU

Εκεί / There “Αν σηκωσεις τα μάτια σου θα δεις να φέγγει. Πάνω από το κεφάλι σου η αυγή αρχίζει να φωτίζει τον ουρανό . Ο ανεμος που φυσαει στο προσωπό σου είναι ο άνεμος που κουνάει τα φύλλα. Βρισκεσαι και πάλι έξω, τα σκυλιά γαυγίζουν , τα πουλιά ξυπνάνε, τα χρώματα επιστρέφουν στην επιφάνεια του κόσμου, τα πράγματα αποκτούν πάλι το χώρο τους, τα ζωντανά δίνουν και πάλι σημεία ζωής....”

‘Iταλο Καλβίνο “Ένας βασιλιας αφουγκράζεται” “If you raise your eyes you will see shining. Above your head the dawn begins to illuminate the sky. The wind blowing in your face is the wind that shakes the leaves. Is again out, dogs barking, birds wake up, colors return to the surface of the world, things acquire their space again, live again give signs of life ....

Italo Calvino “A king listens“

GALATEIA IATRAKI

Untitled The project sceneries of a town started due to my need to discover again my city.

Coming back to the city i was born, I started taking photos mostly at night, away from the hustle and colors of the day.

Looking again at places, finding new places, familiar places, anarchically and distressing in daylight, changed face in the evening. Parts of the city that seemed uninteresting during the day, at night seemed like a stage ready to welcome its protagonists
