A sign and a network. The image as such, as both, and also, as an object; not intangible but
rather bearing its own materiality, physical attributes, a body.
The image, having signs registered on it, and being registered with its turn on something
greater; an image that is all and just a part. A shard of a ceramic vessel that has followed its own
path and trajectory in time. A body that carries its own history and memory and hovers between
being a part and simultaneously an autonomous entity, thus, having this duality and bearing
both functions. A suspended fragment that is almost mystic and mythical, becoming a sign; of
itself and of its broader whole.
Thus, the image as a presence and as an archetype that stands beside, though cannot escape,
this general whole, the net in which it is caught, its context.
Giorgos Kontis
