Landscape - NOMINEE: Athina Souli

'The fragility of her tales' it's a visual diary of some almost archetypal landscapes i searched, during a period of five years of a personal internal transformation. I lived all of my childhood in an island and my enstatement in the city thirteen years before brought a sequence of traumatic experiences and an uncontrolled psychological collapse. Some years after, respecting my past, i would begin to travel around my country, outside the city's borders, to find new places where i would feel like living. There, the stories I would tell about my life would be written again. It's about a topos so mythical as factual, a place that hosts my own story that unique moment.
