ANAMONES

This work was inspired by half-completed constructions, in particular the – sometimes rusty – iron bars protruding from rooftops awaiting future development. In Greek, those bars are known as “anamones”, which can be loosely translated as “waitings.” Most of these bars will never serve the purpose they were intended. As we notice their existence in the urban landscape, the technical term “anamones” triggers an investigation into the deeper meanings surrounding the issue of family ties and relationships in a small, peculiar society like Cyprus.
