The sea is a central element in Aliki Christoforou’s photographic work, through which she explores notions such as memory, mourning, ghosts, and anamnesis. She creates gum bichromate prints of the Mediterranean Sea using her own blood, mirroring that shed by migrants attempting to cross it.

Ethel Lellouche uses the medium of textiles in reverse. The technique of tapestry is slow and tedious, yet the artist works instinctively and without any tapestry cartoon, following her inspiration. She unfolds her works in volume, and improvisation allows her tapestries to bear witness to the present moment.

Aliki Christoforou & Ethel Lellouche explore the notions of memory and temporality through their works based on experimentation with the photographic and textile mediums. The two artists invite us to grasp the temporary nature of our passage on earth and the links we maintain from this position with the present, the past, and the future.
