But are we the only dreamed ones?
The reason of the exhibition, "But are we the only dreamed ones?" is the exchange of correspondence between Ingeborg Bachmann and Paul Celan, two of the most important figures of poetry and literature of the 20th century. Their dramatic and impassioned relationship was formed by the reciprocity of their letters, which for nearly 20 years relieved their existential quest while at the same time shaping their poetic works. A remarkable feature of this union is the creation of a peculiar linguistic grid, based on love and arguing, forming dense poetry with secret echoes.
Somewhere here lies the issue of this exhibition, the invention of a personal "language", romantic and yet erotic, to the artist himself, an alphabet that only empathy and trauma can pronounce. Observing the dipoles developing between the artist and the artistic formation, this relationship is undoubtedly a romance and is wrapped up with the invention of this personal idiom. Not infrequently, fragments of this language are scattered throughout their works. Small gestures, a different observation of their artwork, ultimately betray the character that this exhibition wants to enlight: the artistic act consists of erotic words.
The viewer is invited to discover the subcutaneous romanticism of the three young artists participating in the exhibition. Eleni Tsamadia, Alizée Gazeau and Konstantinos Giotis, through different prisms, confirm the existence of the lost language of the lovers. Love is not limited to the Other, as artists use romantic gestures to approach existence, contestation, the journey of the artist, the artistic creation itself. Harvesting the subconscious, observing the points that are not visible, are driven by the shadows collecting fragments - losses and dreams - where they eventually generate their own alphabet: a language of the dreamed ones.
"Life is not going to accommodate us, Ingeborg; waiting for that would surely be the most unfitting way for us to be. Be - yes, we can and are allowed to do so. To be - be there for another. Even if it is only a few words, alla breve, one letter once a month: the heart will know how to live."

Una flor que crece
Flowers, compressed between the paper and this stone, appear on the surface of the drawing. Placed between the space of the pper and that of the stone, the flowers mark a continual temporality. The history of the site mixes with the present realisation of the drawing and the imminent future that the plants represent.
A luminous solitude floods this residency in the heart of the Sierra Maria - Los Velez. I wanted to testify to the luminous sensation that I lost myself in in this dramatic landscape. Long solitary walks along the rocky, arid trails allowed me to find silent answers.
All time limits seemed to be abolished during those weeks.
I wanted to make a second series of drawings that would evoke this idea of radical, absolute and permanent present. I used a mixture of acrylic and clay. By their furtive passage on the surface of the paper, the plants marked their light imprint in reverse.
"Time is the moving image of eternity" and when time is suspended by this radical present where past and future migle and merge, we experience the flight of time in which we pass. Joya: AIR makes such and absolute present possible; this retreat in the heart of nature invites a radiant dialectic between the passage and suspension of time. "
