Momentography / documenting our personal landscapes

metamatic:taf is pleased to host the exhibition Momentography / Athens that opens on Thursday, September 27th and will run until October 28th, 2012.

The Momentographer is now on operation. It is examining our extroverted microcosm and is recording the moments. The things we love, the things we hate, our friendships, our passions, our mistakes are being portrayed with an urban landscape as the background. Moments that are being captured in ten rooms, alternate in time, get confused with our feelings and sometimes overtake us.

Ten rooms offer penetrating looks on respective moments and mark their truth. A truth that is found somewhere deep inside us.

Those moments where an old man, lost in his thoughts, is looking through his window, waiting for a sparrow to show up.

Two rooms after playing with time, are defining our days and our nights bringing to life bizarre moments of a different reality.

At a corner nearby there is a sack thrown: it is loaded with stolen smiles, thinks the single man of the close by apartment. He wakes up every morning all by himself, while his loneliness is painting his mornings gray.

From the bedroom next door there are stories unfolding, photos and thoughts reach the roof.

And yet another empty room. An empty self?

Me, you, everything we lived are tangled in a puzzle of thoughts. Constantine Belias, Thalia Geladaki, Katerina Paspaliari, Zois Halkiopoulos and Maria Sotiropoulou are dismantling the moments that they isolated so as to share their truth with the spectator.
