| Andreas Voussouras Fundamental images from times and places I would rather never return to. Yet I keep returning. From a sense of duty and from the need to repeat a punishment before the blackboard – or for love. Voussouras’s work takes its place primarily in the part of the exhibition referring to the “personal” realm. When you approach the artist’s installations-environments, it is like penetrating his own personal reality, his memory, his past and his own time, which exists, is lost, returns, ends and is won over again and again. The ready-made objects he uses next to dedicative objects are references and symbols of personal, family memories, commenting ironically but at the same time tenderly on a past that reflects a collective memory. Origins, family ties, bourgeois perceptions and punishment are reproduced through his work. As an artistic practice, this revival is understood as an act or remembrance, of repetition and redemption, while also acting as an underlying social and political commentary.
