Opening reception: 8 February at 19:30

Chiaki Kamikawa Contemporary Art Gallery presents a series of video work presentations entitled “Stories in Screen” in three separate weeks. Each artist presents their works for a week.

Week One presents works by Lia Lapithi and Nikos Kouroussis. Lia Lapithi presents the video work “Κύπρος-Cyprus-Kibris 17c”. In this video, the artist is holding a piece of lemon and trying to erase the photograph of the postal stamp from a newspaper which represents the “Ship of Kerynia” – a symbolic act of the artist who tries to erase a beautiful memory of her favourite town of childhood “Kerynia” from her mind.

Nikos Kouroussis presents a video installation “Untitled” which shows a ceremonial act with the theme that is to be placed within the cycle of his latest conceptual works with the general title “The Protagonists”. “The Protagonists” are composed of an encounter of art with the history and people which form or influence the contemporary Cypriot reality.
