Fall

“Fall” is an allegorical portrait created by editing older footage for the exhibition “Coming of age” (M. Cacoyiannis Foundation, Athens, Greece, 2018) and it synopsizes in a symbolic way the harsh and tough side of growing old: a series of falls, which rhythmically thicken as the video progresses, refer conceptually to hits and consequently wounds. Our personal identity is “sculptured” by all these falls.
Gioula Papadopoulou was born in Athens, Greece, in 1974. She studied Painting at Athens School of Fine Arts (ASFA) and holds an MA in Digital Arts (ASFA). Her artistic practice focuses on video art.
