Paphos Souls 2018

Larnaca Biennale 2018 was my first attempt to enter a international competition. I chose these three pictures, among many others, that have been stuck together by the humid store space these glass negative films were kept. The pattern created in most of the films has a continues appearance in most of the glass negative films I scan. It is a real live element that has grown through time rhythmically one can say.

The blending of the images are so balanced and meaningful that no better choice could have been made from any divine touch.

For the first picture we can translate friendship, childhood or just kids. We could talk about the backgrounds or even their fashions styles. The second one is more family orientated, the couples future is appearing and happiness could be captured. The third one has many more elements to talk about, such as the relationship of a conservative male figure with a young girl. The dress suit of the male figure that up today hasn’t changed in contrast with the youngs girls stye. The background showing a vase with flowers that just sits perfectly in the picture.
