Terra Cognita
Myrto Apostolidou
Gong (2011-2012)
Two media come together in GONG: the series comprises a range of painted entities that are placed in photographed landscapes. The mythic figures call up associations with a world after a nuclear war, or with an extreme degree of evolution in which mankind has ceased to play a role. Apostolidou describes the beings, painted in a naive style, as forlorn, out of their element and melancholy. They are the visualization of the forgotten animal side of man.
