Corfu-based artist, Eva Caridi, opens her first solo show in London at Ambika P3

LONDON.- On January 11 the Corfu-based artist, Eva Caridi, opened her first solo show in London, at Ambika P3, University of Westminster. This exhibition is a monumental installation made of two labyrinths. The first is in the Cretan fashion with a one-way path leading to the core where there is a video projection. The second is a deconstructed labyrinth with a path through iron blocks with 20 unique life-sized plaster human sculptures, each about 1.6 meters in height, positioned along the way. The installation stages a representation of time as a human condition. There are no dead ends, no illusions, but only constant walking ahead in one direction. The visitor proceeds through the corridor surrounded by iron walls, and sound flows from the labyrinth’s depths compelling one to continue the journey.
