SLUMBER

at the threshold of sleep

 

Between wakefulness and sleep, there is a space where we are detached from our conscious self and experience the interminable flow of a borderless existence. The body - void of its flesh - relinquishes itself to the brain and dances in a river of enveloping darkness. The river becomes its content. It is a luminous dark river, full of everything.

 

Lito Apostolakou’s background in history inspires a process engaged with multi-layered narratives about memory and place. Tactile and evanescent, her work seems always in the process of becoming. While transcribing the dream experience through the immediacy and flow of pencil marks, she infuses drawing with the plasticity of sculpture, experimenting with the kinetic of moving image and the enveloping nature of sound.
