La petite mort
The exhibition "La petite mort", drawing upon the corresponding 16th century French phrase that conveys the experience of orgasm as a "little death", explores the concept of small death as a broader reference to the notion of loss, alienation, and disruption of consciousness. The exhibition captures the reflection of desire, the understanding of loss, and the perception of identity.
We invite you to delve into the labyrinth of this exhibition, to traverse this visual narrative, to explore the dark rooms of the human soul, and to experience your own little death - a transitional state of desire and loss, temporary forgetfulness, and revelation.
Artists: Evgenia Efstathiou, Anna Kaplanidou, Apostolis Lempesis, Yiannis Roussounelos, Danai Simou.
