A different kind of exhibition about the Europe that we loved, the tree that we used to hurt…

The Myconian artist, Marina Petri, in each of her subject matters, in every one of her works, expresses a complete and unique point of view.  Her themes come to surprise us with their boldness and their imaginativeness.  Marina Petri has something to say!

She is angered by people’s inertia, such as when during the terror and remorse of the two world wars, in 1941, the ray of light which shone from the writing on a cigarette paper by Mussolini’s prisoners, Altiero Spinelli and Ernesto Rossi, the well known “Manifesto Ventotene” for a united Europe, sank into oblivion.

Soon the systems which brought with them the idea of democracy showed their cracks worldwide.  The artist shows us the both beautiful and tragic sides of Europe, in 54 personas.

Parading amongst them is war, history, myth, culture, science, art, philosophy, beauty, the richness of diversity, the celebration, insouciance, luxury, the beginning of the laying down of human rights.  An old Europe however whose heart and soul hunger for a fair and friendly treatment, for solidarity rather than the inward caving that is being experienced in the countries of an allegedly United Europe.

Her artwork is a game made up of an electronic collage of images with rich visual expressions of joy, pain, disappointment, optimism, love, death, gods and demons.

The exhibition began its journey in the heart of Berlin and above all it invites the active involvement of the viewer through opinion, thought and emotion.

The exhibition will be introduced by the art lover Dimitris Lymberis and Eleni Grypari, former vice president of the Young European Federalists and member of the Federal European Committee.

The artist will address the visitors through an action where she herself communicates with each viewer, as part of one united country.
