SYNAPSE Eugenia Patsouri
A picture is worth a 1000 pictures.
A synapse is the space between neurons, brain cells. It’s where a connection takes or does not take place. Synapses are key factors in promoting organized life and communication between neurons, organs, organisms.
Trained as a neuroscientist and biologist, artist Eugenia Patsouri’s SYNAPSE is a set of books, index and a print in a box, based on the world of a single photograph.
“Working with a single source image was a certain kind of investigation. This was an image I shot in a place that I often go back to, for the first time for some reason I decided to use the camera's timer to take the picture. I just saw the man’s silhouette, set the frame and quickly jumped in to mirror his body language - we never exchanged a word”.
SYNAPSE comes in the form of a box containing; six hand assembled books
(SYNAPSE 1,2,3,4,6,8 indicating the number of unique versions each book holds), an index where all sequenced versions can be seen and an enveloped unique print of one of 24 image versions.
