Stories in Screen - Video installations

Week Three: 8 – 15 March / Sylvia Nicolaides and Nicolas Iordanou "About Us"

Opening receptions: 8 March 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 Three presents a work by the duo Sylvia Nicolaides and Nicolas Iordanou, “About Us”. In the video, the artist drives a car in the cityscape, and the viewer soon realises that the act is a mere repetition as she goes around the same round-about. As this symbolic loop action continues, we hear the monologue that describes daily routine and our collective thoughts in the modern society with the words such as “Purpose, goal and achievement.” The work reflects the reality of our everyday life in which many things are repetitive, unproductive and meaningless, at the same time it implies the issues of the society that burden us. The artists describe the work that “it is about us, our struggles, our fears and the need to break free.”
