NOSTOS, 2024
The Greek word NOSTOS means ‚home‘ or ‚return‘. The term nostalgia, which refers to the yearning to look back on the past, also has its origins in this word. In Greek mythology, Orpheus descends into the underworld in despair over Eurydice’s death in an attempt to bring her back from the dead. However, he fails and loses her a second and final time. Like Orpheus, we tend to revisit our own underworld of memories repeatedly throughout our lives, often accompanied by questions of ‘why’ and ‘what if’. NOSTOS uses associative images to tell a story about the past, loss, and our unalterable memories of it.
