In collaboration with the Municipality of Mykonos, Ephorate of Antiquities of the Cyclades of the Hellenic Ministry of Culture and the Aegean Maritime Museum.
Internationally renowned photographer of landscape and architecture Erieta Attali (PhD) presents Archipelago of Memory | From Delos to the Aegean - a photographic meditation on the transformations of the Aegean landscape that extends beyond the limits of space and the geographical circle of the Cyclades, and speaks to the history of civilization through the dialogue between landscape and art.
In the exhibition Archipelago of Memory | From Delos to the Aegean, Attali departs from the edges of maps and the limits of the known world to seek its symbolic centre. She focuses on the ancient island of Delos (UNESCO World Heritage List, 1990), in the Cyclades, capturing through her lens the spirit of place, the Genius Loci that made the Aegean a cradle of civilization from prehistory to the 21st century. Seascapes, night shots and long-exposure photographs, the shifting of sunlight and moonlight, architectural fragments, ancient remnants and mosaics reveal through the art of photography the sanctuaries of the past and transform them into sacred landscapes of today.
