Lizzie Calligas

Lizzie Calligas’ photographs at the old Acropolis Museum are records of an in-between state, subtly inflected by her individual artist’s gaze: they reflect the emptiness a recently defunct space, turned from permanent exhibition venue into a site temporarily hosting the masterpieces of ancient sculptures so that they can be listed, receive conservation treatment by expects, be crated and safely moved to the new Museum. It is a turning point, in a place that is neither here nor there. Invested with their protective white cover the statues are transformed, the meaning of their shrouded forms replenished with new associations by the play of light and shadow. —State Museum of Contemporary Art, Thessaloniki
