A Voyage with Synergy

The Fantastic Journeys of Energy, Kappatos Gallery
Athens, 2016

 

Water, light and wind! The vastness of the oceans for the journey, the sun’s energy for self-sufficiency and the power of the winds for the movement are the only essentials for a traveller with a sailing boat, goods that are generously offered by nature.

While the hours and days pass by and the landscape remains the same, the only company that stays with you is the sea and its several behaviours. Infinite, vast, dynamic, sometimes friendly and other times threatening, like a living organism that you think that it feeds itself just by your own existence.

Floating in the open sea, thousands of miles away from the coast, the destination seems to be at the mercy of the wind and currents. Like the transfer of countless tropical seeds and fruits or a special flotilla of flowers and plants which travels the oceans of the world to finally drift towards the coral coast of a remote island or a distant continent.

The sail
The exhibition The Fantastic Journeys of Energy at Kappatos Gallery in Athens aims to attract, generate and enhance discussions about the various forms of energy in order to explore the ways matter changes through these journeys. Energies are never lost or consumed but due to conditions they are transferred from one form into another; similarly to a traveler who is exploring the physical world, it can be conceived as a voyage of these forces.
