Maria Loizidou: Newcomers - Paperback

by Maria Loizidou (Artist), Akis Kokkinos (Text by (Art/Photo Books)), Elina Kountouri (Text by (Art/Photo Books))

Through six thematic spaces composed using sound, light, fabric and found objects, Loizidou revitalizes the sociopolitical contradictions within an abandoned Cyprus hotel

Cypriot artist Maria Loizidou (born 1958) transforms the abandoned Minerva Hotel in Platres into a meditation on displacement, refuge and belonging--responding to the building's layered history as both a summer retreat and a wartime shelter.
