Anima Urbis

The different elements that make up a society, whether it be its people or their creations, are irreversibly imprinted on the backdrop of a city. From time immemorial in the collective consciousness, the historical richness and cultural diversity of a place, have generated the desire to tell stories, be they real or not. The compositions presented in this exhibition evoke scenes from a fairy tale, like snapshots of a folk tradition and heritage. Fragments from historical photographs of Kavala, synthesize new realities, through an inevitable surrealism. Hybrid constructions, people transformed into buildings, like other mythical monsters, or shadow theatre figures, stand here as landmarks of a different era, crafted by the people, for the people. The monuments tell their own stories, the stories of the masses, and all we can do is listen to them, care for and preserve them.

Anima Urbis was a solo open air exhibition that took place in Kavala, Greece, from 05/07 until 31/08 2022, in the context of Cosmopolis Festival.
