Diptychs (from the Greek δίπτυχα)
Are you familiar with this?
I had made another post in the past when I would choose and combine my images for an exhibition which is now a reality.
What this is: two images, two moments, brought together to create a new dialogue.
This comes from the ancient Greek idea of something “folded in two” (δυο πτυχές) to Byzantine and medieval art, the diptych has a long history of connecting two panels into a single work.
In this post, I am very happy to present diptychs in photography, and extremely honored to see two of my diptychs to be included.
Both photos are actually very random, and very unique. I never got to replicate those again. The first one, pink rose on tears. It was a rainy day and everything was wet. I saw this rose (outside my butchers shop actually) leaning towards the sky, and to the only rains of sun that I saw on that day. I took the shot - here it is! No edits, nothing. Clouds on the background and real light on the crying leafs.
On the other hand, a pink cloudy cyclone. (not a real one) This is taken during sunset time, but from the opposite direction, and at that moment, everything had turned into pink.
Magical.
You will see below how this was merged with other artists' images.
This photo can be interpreted with a number of ways. I see a path leading somewhere, and a curtain that leaves everything exposed. From the person who will later sleep, to everything around them.
Innocence, and a pure, white dress
This is a beautiful combination of photos, dont you agree?
Blank eyes, blank paintings on the wall? Maybe a cry for help, missing content everywhere ...
Color, youth, and the absence of it?
Memories..
Here is how they have put my photos with this beautiful, really lovely combination of something so airy, pure, like it belongs to a fairytale
Great combination of colors!
Every photo tells its own story and allows to make up our own story when seeing it.
I enjoyed this exhibition a lot, and in these short videos I hope you will also see how the exhibition looked like when seeing it inside the old Venetian era Gate of Saint George.
Thank you very much for watching!
