PastPresentFuture

by Alessandra Dimitra

This still ongoing inter medial project is creating
an intercultural bridge through time and space
by connecting individuals within society.

The project is about life and considers
human life beyond lifetime.

This artwork is exploring the topic of reincarnation
and visualizes an imaginative link between a series
of personalities, by exploring their lives in different
countries and times.

What is the meaning of life and what is hereafter?
These basic questions of mankind are being
philosophically analyzed in a very personal and
artistic manner, without subjectingto any dogmas.
This artwork suggests a controversial discussion.

Since 2011, Berlin, installation

1 colored & many black/white prints on white, translucent PE chiffon banners (each ca. 300 cm x 90 cm), all connected together with a textile “red soul-thread"

Each banner is printed on one side with a realistic drawing of a life-sized figure (print measures ca. 200 cm x 90 cm, fixed size) which is visible from both sides of banners hanging in series.

All the banners are hung with wooden clothespins on clotheslines stretched through the room, as referring to the bodies that the person changes as he or she would do with an old piece of clothing. The clotheslines are marking the time and space coordinates of the particular lifetimes. All drawings are available also as 1/10 limited edition of fine art prints.
