WE33(ΕΜΕΙΣ33)@platform project 2020

What are your thoughts on your participation in the online art fair Platforms 2020, a novel experience emerging from the Covid 19 pandemic?
What are the new challenges posed and what are your expectations of this project?

 We are very pleased to take part once more in the Platforms Project 2020 alongside many distinguished artists and groups from all over the world. The directors, Artemis and Michalis, faced many challenges and obstacles this year. They turned a difficult situation into an opportunity creating a new communicative experience where artists and their works reach out to the viewers. 

Our project, called “Urban Mulititudes”, has biopolitics at its core. A year ago we began studying the relation between people and their potential within an urban environment. It is a group project of 58 participants who collected photographs that comprised this video. Like Orwellian creatures we witness unprecedented circumstances that gave our team the challenge to work on the raw material and complete the project in the middle of a lock down. 

Our works poses questions on power, surveillance and control, questions that are also posed by the dystopian reality of the pandemic, reminding us of Italo Calvino’s words, “Seek and learn to recognize who and what, in the midst of hell, are not hell, then make them endure, give them space.”
