Reading Kafka, I had the feeling that the author had been wandering around in my dreams. Reading about Kafka, especially from a psychoanalytical viewpoint, was also illuminating. Descriptions of  his sense of space, the importance of boundaries, walls, doors, the lack of coherence of space, phrased into actual words notions and uncanny feelings that prevail in my dreams;  especially those of being chased in an endless labyrinth of odd spaces. This castle-structure could also be seen as the human brain while dreaming, with the black diamond referring to Kafka’s father, in my case an oppressing rationality, presented as the only solid value, which dictates taboos and constantly judges my thoughts, emotions and my often fluid way of thinking itself.

About The Artwork

Reading Kafka, I had the feeling that the author had been wandering around in my dreams. Reading about Kafka, especially from a psychoanalytical viewpoint, was also illuminating. Descriptions of his sense of space, the importance of boundaries, walls, doors, the lack of coherence of space, phrased into actual words notions and uncanny feelings that prevail in my dreams; especially those of being chased in an endless labyrinth of odd spaces. This castle-structure could also be seen as the human brain while dreaming, with the black diamond referring to Kafka’s father, in my case an oppressing rationality, presented as the only solid value, which dictates taboos and constantly judges my thoughts, emotions and my often fluid way of thinking itself.

Andromachi Giannopoulou was born in Australia. She went to school in Athens, Greece, and studied Painting in Athens School of Fine Arts. She was awarded a scholarship for studies in Art and Design from the State Scholarship Foundation, and studied Graphic Design and Communication at Chelsea College of Art and Design, London. She lives in Athens and works as an art teacher. Her work is the result of a search for the nature of personal experience, by exploring the boundaries between "real life" and memory and on the other hand between "real life" and dream. The border between sleep and alertness, repetitive dreams and space in dreams are some of the elements that fascinate her. It seems that all too often those images that emerge from the subconscious, revolve around a common axis which is the oppression of female sexuality. However she works without an obvious theme, letting the images and feelings reveal all those inevitable distortions of perception.
