GRAVITY BEGINS AT HOME
by GUY BOLONGARO
In the song from which ‘Gravity Begins At Home’ takes its title, the Scottish musician Ivor Cutler assures us that the theory of gravity is ‘a lot of nonsense’, and Bolongaro’s photographs appear to support this notion – that when it comes to family, everything is up in the air: here objects (eggs, daffodils, lit candles) levitate, and children fly as though possessed. Here too are celestial bodies, mirrorings and doublings, games of scale, and collage-like overlappings and abuttings, alongside quieter, homespun scenes of domestic life (hair is brushed, telly watched, laundry folded).

Back to Nowhere
by Charalampos Kydonakis
aka Dirty Harrry
My island is the only place I ‘ll never have the chance to see how it looks in the eyes of a stranger. There‘s a place in every myth where heroes love & hate, dream & fight; a place of eternal departure & return. ‘Back to Nowhere’ is a tale from Minotaur’s island, the key-shaped mountain planted on the eastern side of the Mediterranean sea.
BENNIE : What are you looking for?
SAPPENSLY : A pal of ours... Maybe you can help us find him.
BENNIE : Well, don't worry, if he's alive, I'll find him.
SAPPENSLY : Uh, alive isn't our problem.
Sam Peckinpah / Gordon Dawson / ' Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Garcia'
