Winter is the first photographic installation work on Atopia’s Vitrine.
The installation is comprised of 144, A3 size photographs mounted directly on the windows of Atopia. They are left outside at the mercy of weather conditions as well as the public behavior. These photographs are now collecting the residues of a 30-day exhibition period and becoming naturalized on the side of the street.
The Finissage of the exhibition will celebrate its final shape and development.

“Incidence Room”
A video installation by Greg Pope
Sound by Benedict Drew
Saturday, 26 Nov. (12-18) &
Sunday, 27 Nov. (12-17)
Fragmentary in nature, Greg Pope’s digital haiku’s create sequences that are continually shifting, a piece that is allowed to evolve beyond the last edit.
This is a work of possible conjunctions and associations, the meanings of
which can be as plentiful as the number of viewers.

From the Greek atopon, (literally out of place), atopic characterizes what is not conditioned by territorial boarders. It refers to an entity whose position is in constant change.
R.Barthes defines it as "in between”; between the words (the meaning of a text), between the lovers (the tragic nature of Eros), between the frames (the cinematic representation). "Atopic" never reveals a tangible presence. It is percieved as a whole only throgh reconstitution, when all the words have been said, when all the frames have been captured.
It becomes present when it's allready past.
In this regard, dealing with the moving image is dealing with the "atopic". It is like building, step by step, frame by frame, the very precise contour of the same elusive absence.
