\n The title of the photographic series \u201cIsland Hoping\u201d \u2013 an optimistic wordplay on the notion of island hopping \u2013 explores images and myths of the Mediterranean, a geographical entity, but above all an imagined reality, in which the appreciation of beauty and a collective spirit are deeply ingrained.\n <\/div>\n \n \n<\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n

The Mediterranean is sometimes described as a cultural space, but in fact its historical and political reality has always been more complex. In these meticulously structured photographs, islands and rock formations emerge from the sea in an indeterminate landscape. Due to their morphology and ruggedness, the rocky shores of the Aegean islands evoke ambiguous emotions that lie between optimism, hope, and uncertainty. Christina Dimitriadis\u2019s aesthetic approach transforms the landscape from hospitable to barren. The starting point for the series was a black-and-white photograph of Helgoland, an island in the North Sea with a distinctive political and geographical history. It is also the birthplace, on the maternal side, of the Dimitriadis family and the beginning of a continuous biography of migration. Past and future, individual and collective flow together, making Island Hoping a hybrid of North and South.<\/p>\n\n \n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n
