Nikos Kokkalis, Anneta Spanoudaki
Collaborative presentation of the artist duo Nikos Kokkalis Annetta Spanoudaki
A collaborative presentation of the artist duo, Annetta Spanoudaki and Nikos Kokkalis. “Dirty Annunciation” (2013) video, attracts its theme from the early hilarious Shadow
Theater spectacles, while iconographically it refers to a film of the early years of the moving image. "Tiny Me"- a 24 watercolor series, as many as the letters of the alphabet - is a small Freudian diary in the color of blood.
As Annetta Spanoudaki notes on her installation “Over your cities grass will grow”,
«the autumn came
invisible from corner to corner
so clear to the eye
someone recognized it from the sound
of the air blowing
... watching the inner connection of things we learn the innumerable ways of the world. The immobility of the image determines the narrative context.
Space, time and memory meet, inviting the viewer to shift from an individual, to a wider perspective.
Only then may the inner voice clarify, as objects become conceivable...»
