MEMORIES
SHORT LIST
Statement
Intimate Paths
Returning to my hometown, I had to face the various aspects of the past.Being in the countryside, started spending time at my “secret” places, the ones which deep in my recollection were full of scents, sounds and beloved creatures . A cathartic exploration of my beautiful surrounding. Again.Only this time I was attracted by the night, the time that everything is serene and somehow strange.Seduced by total darkness, ι was experimenting with the forms that light can reveal, creating a world between reality and fiction, dreams and nightmares ,between past and present.

Jury selection
Judged by Tim Barber:
Inspired by the Grand Prix, Takahashi Miki’s work, I thought it would be fun and interesting to make a compilation of the widely diverse and eclectic work submitted for this contest. When edited and organized, the “memory” submissions, sent in from dozens of artists, become a kind of collective-memory-collage, a dream sequence of disparate clues from a kaleidoscopic narrative.
* This work was included in a curated collection of works selected by the judge Tim Barber from a number of submitted works. See the collection
