“between you and me” by Anastasios Veloudis
Tell us about the artwork. What makes it unique?
In “Between you and me” the artist recorded himself in an experimental performance along with shots of his partner in a still position. The artist is showing part of his bodies in odd, abstract moves using materials like paper, leather and black tape. The grayscale, glowing shots create a visceral, dreamlike and surreal condition that seems to communicate messages that waiting to be deciphered. Anastasios’ narrative work examines the concept of homosexuality and love bond. Between you and me there are borders, connection lines, bodies, fantasies, emotion and thoughts. The video work “Between you and me’’ is an abstract, narrative work with a reference to the concept of sex, love and homosexuality. Black tape, leather, body parts combined.
Tell us about yourself. How did you come to be an artist in video/digital media?
“The outcome of my practice occurs as a by-product of my ongoing effort to explore and understand new radical approaches on mind, body and spirit. These concepts, informed by studies on a philosophical, spiritual, and scientic realm, have always been a vehicle for my personal transformation and as a result - the source of inspiration. My work is an effort to balance tranquillity and chaos. Through practice, I am seeking to raise a question, an awareness, or argument to the way we feel, think and perceive our reality.”
“I.D.” by Andre Perim
Tell us about the artwork. What makes it unique?
“I.D. is an animation short movie about a pictorial study on the loss of identity in the digital era. The image of a fingerprint is melted and gives way to a futuristic landscape made from ruins.”
