Expectations
Variable installation
Nursing home, a heterotopia according to Foucault, since after all the old age almost repels into a society where activities are the norm, and inertia is a type of divergence.
A social "margin" often forgotten.
He does not send me a letter ... the motto of the elders.
Α series of portraits. Photos from hands, in anticipation of, reminding us the time, that escapes from our dissolving everyday life.
The same time many mail boxes, empty, filled with a full of joy or an unbearable void and vain wait, give us a call for a social and personal meditation about the loneliness of the elderly.
Eventually, perhaps, a two-point project with the iron mail boxes and the "portraits" of the elderly who are expecting a message.
