EVA KATSAITIS PASSWORD LADSCAPES AMALGAMA [ARTISTS' INITIATIVE] The installation consists of slide projections on a mirror that reflects the image, which is further on projected onto semi-transparent hanging fabric and walls that function as screens. The images are memory landscapes from Greece and Australia. The viewer can only see the whole image on the mirror or else fragmented on the fabric and wall surfaces. The whole is revealed via fragmentation and thus personal perceptions about truth are to be explored in the area between reality and illusion. Elytis figures language as the projection of the landscape upon its people, thus connecting the experience of a place with its expression through language. Taking this point further place exists as structured language within visual expression. "I arrived in Australia to live there permanently and even though I spoke English fluently, I felt visually "mute" and unable to articulate the code of this new landscape into my images. The resolution was to improvise a new illusionary space that could fit in both places (the old Greek and the new Australian). This negotiation seemed as the only reality in my experience of displacement, in a new cultural structure. In this kind of space I stepped back to assess and accept the presence of both influences in me, realizing a fragmentation, a split that still constitutes one entity, my new fluid shifting identity. In a world that nothing remains fixed only movement can resolve the predicament of space. In the installation the viewer is invited to interpret while moving. The body Movement, interactivity and the body of the viewer, change, clarify and complete the work. The intention being to not just transport the viewer from images of Greece to ones of Australia but under the guidance of his/her memory-movement to allow for a quality change in the space offered: the space to transform from being external, public to being internal, private.
