Gateway to the West and in the wake of the collapse of Eastern Bloc communism, another train arrives carrying economic refugees to Athens. Amongst the flood of desperate poor is Panayotis, an 18-year-old ambitious Albanian. A handsome and solitary 35-year-old Ilias is cruising the neon-lit streets of Athens and looking for someone to distract him from the emptiness of his life. Against the chaotic backdrop of the modern city, these two characters are separated by race and bound by love, murder, and their desperation to find their own place in the sun.
The exhibition Look at Me! Portraits and Other Fictions from the ”la Caixa” Contemporary Art Collection examines portraiture, one of the oldest artistic genres, through a significant number of works of our times. Through the exhibition we will be sharing about the artists and sections in Look At Me!.
