Dimitris Ameladiotis, tou chronou, mixed technique, variable dimensions, in situ installation, 2018-2020.

Τhe work pre-existed in another form prior to the artist’s invitation to this project. Dimitris Ameladiotis worked on it and kept weaving and evolving it from the first moment of his involvement and throughout his visits in the prison until the day of the opening of the exhibition. This work can be interpreted as an impossible prison break, as well as a metaphor for the routes we chose in our lives, the notion of the maze, the sea, time passing by in prison, patience and, finally, everyday routine, whether we are “in there” or “out here”...

Dimitris Ameladiotis, Each garden, a nest for the children, mixed technique,

52x58x37cm, sculpture, 2019-2020.

The artist likens the sculpture to a prison model. The fact that it is presented as if witnessed from above is not accidental, referring to the way of looking down on something that makes us feel ill at ease.
