The solo exhibition titled “Island Hoping” by Christina Dimiriadis opened, Thursday, 8th of September, 2022.
Island Hoping, a series of thirty photographs of small, rocky, uninhabitable Greek islands called skerries in the north Aegean Sea. The photographs are entirely unpeopled, stark, detailed, both painfully clear and inscrutable. The exhibition travels next to Warsaw, and Meta/Books published a catalog of the series in summer 2019. Uncannily perfect introduction to her work’s themes: memory and erasure, and the self in the context of family, country, and the structures they all inhabit, a concept captured in the ancient Greek word oikos. She has contributed to documenta 14’s journal, which explores the North-South divide across Europe.
