Once a week a ship arrives in the small, remote Aegean Island of Donousa. One winter’s day Stefan, a young German photographer comes to the island and his arrival triggers off a series of events that will bring to light the deepest secrets of a world that is hermetically shut off, trapped in a vicious whirlwind where the same sin, the same mistake, the same blood, the same silences are reproduced. The story unfolds smoothly and reaches a climax without violent flare-ups as if following the pace of life in this forgotten land. A strange, claustrophobic atmosphere for a modern tragedy that has left nothing out of the traditional arsenal: from the chorus and the deus ex machina to the final catharsis.
Our Cold Front from the Balkans exhibition focuses on different generations of artists and art groups from the Balkan region. Throughout the exhibition, we keep sharing detailed information about the artworks. Take a look at Mark Požlep’s “Stranger than Paradise” video installation. Also you can check our interview with the artist on our YouTube channel!
The war fought by the Greeks to shake off the Turkish yoke was closely observed around Europe and, this being the era of romanticism, the events taking place around Greece between 1821 and 1832 became a symbol for national liberation struggle.
Based on similar examples by the European painters in various collections, this work is one of the portraits of Mihrimah Sultan, who was depicted rather often in the 16th century.
