The Excursion

Director:  Takis Kanellopoulos
Cast: Lili Papayianni, Angelos Antonopoulos, Kostas Karagiorgis, Kostas Lachas
Greece, 1966, HDD, 86’, b&w
Greek with Turkish and English subtitles   

Kanellopoulos takes lyricism to its most extreme form. His characters are dominated by an absolute, mysterious and romantic passion that so overcomes them that they seem to stand still and act as if hypnotized, simply following the course of their fate. A woman loves her officer husband but her desire for their mutual friend is irresistible. She will follow him, deserter though he is, into the unknown.

Love-Death: the axis is straight; it is a “royal”path that unites them. A ritual and a hymn to the sadness and splendour of feelings.

Transition to Sculpture

Transition to Sculpture

If Manolo Valdés’s paintings convey a search for materiality, his sculpture does so even more. Today, sculpture has taken over most of his workspace, his time, and his efforts.

Memory Building Memories / Memory Room / Memento Mori

Each memory tells an intimate story; each collection presents us with the reality of containing an intimate story as well. The collection is akin to a whole in which many memories and stories of the artist, the viewer, and the collector are brought together. At the heart of a collection is memory, nurtured from the past and projecting into the future.
