Nostos (homecoming)
2020
Photograph
During the pandemic Ann and Vicky have been meeting for socially distanced walking as a form of practice. It became clearer during this time, that the land was a place of direct experience both internally and externally.
Ann and Vicky are presenting a photographic image for A Dangerous Field entitled Nostos (homecoming). Through the use of an ephemeral performative gesture, the photograph becomes documentation, but also an illusion of the walk that was once taken together.
Ann Rapstoff and Vicky Vergou are interdisciplinary artists who have their own practice as well as an interest in collaborating. They have worked together on various artists residencies, films and performances mainly in response to the land. Their philosophy is concerned with the continuum of life and our interconnection with the planet.
Vicky has a background in visual arts, particularly video, sound, drawing, and installation. Ann’s background is in performance, socially engaged work, interventions, writing, installation and more recently stitch.
