"Green line: Evocative of an archaeology of

desperation and desire" Cornelia Mittendorfer uses photography to pose

questions about how to perceive and depict

traumatic events. Taking Cyprus as an example,

green line examines the complexity of one of the

violent and still unresolved conflicts of the present

day. The photographs are accompanied by portraits

of the people who have entrusted their stories to

the artist.. Together, the photos and essayistic texts

create a space that is fragmented yet resonant,

where memories echo with fault lines and

contradictions. Rolf Sachsse follows the common

thread of doubling in Mittendorfer's work to

develop his interpretation of the pictures and text.

Yiannis Papadakis locates the conflict in its

geopolitical framework.

period. The exhibits are presented in four different

thematic entities, which narrate the history of the

city and the region of Amathous by providing

customs and commercial or cultural exchanges. The
