Hearbeat at MISC Gallery

MISC Athens proudly presents Heartbeat, an exhibition by Antonis Theodoridis, Nikolas Ventourakis and Peter Watkins, curated by Karolina Wisniewska.

Overview

The city wakes up with a warm smile. It is the day of the 33th birthday of Alfa Romeo 33 who is slowly losing her mind. Light filters through the essence of grapefruits, sweetcorn-scented wind flushes down the not-yet-hot pavement. 

Sound of engines is drinking the air polluted with posters and tiredness. Seed that was planted is now size of a human fist. A young boy with crooked teeth crossing the street with his heart full of tears. The evening will be superlatively warm and fine. After an hour it will drift like a bed of seaweed above the heartbeat of our sea. 

Exactly a hundred years ago today, someone wrote me a text by accident, when I was sitting on the bench in Philopappou hill, surrender forever to the city you love.

Heartbeat presents works by Antonis Theodoridis, Nikolas Ventourakis, and Peter Watkins, all having their starting point in Athens. The exhibition is presented within the APhF:24 Satellite Program, curated by Sylvia Sachini, as part of the Athens Photo Festival.
