Natassa Markidou
MONUMENTS
AAS GALLERY 1
Much of Natassa Markidou's work (Greece, 1965) has dealt with staged and constructed imagery. Her latest sequence, Monuments, represents totemic structures of indeterminate scale built up of driftwood and found objects; photographed by the edge of the sea, they resemble the ritual sites of a people long-vanished across the waves. According to Markidou, a monument and a photograph are both equally "a reminder, an indicator, a mark, a token or evidence of some fact".
