Stories in Screen (Week Two)

Stories in Screen: Video installations

Week Two: 22 February – 1 March / Yiannos Economou "Dancing Landscapes"

Opening receptions: 22 February, 19:30

Chiaki Kamikawa Contemporary Art Gallery presents a series of video work presentations entitled “Stories in Screen” in three separate weeks. Each artist presents their works for a week.

Week Two presents a latest video work by Yiannos Economou, “Dancing Landscapes.” The title is borrowed from the complex system analysis which suggests that nothing is constant, everything is in a flux and interconnected. It also suggests that any attempt to predict a value at a future point will need take into account shifts in all other values in the meantime. In this video, the artist explores his immediate environment in Cyprus which ranges from people, everyday activities and modest objects to extravagant landscapes and natural phenomena. Each shot is shown with the texts that describe political, economic and social events of the world which took place on each day of the shooting. By using the poetic assemblage of everyday images, the artist aims to avoid a representational mode while staying connected with the world by means of the mimetic powers of the camera and microphone.
