Shown as part of the exhibition 'Tales of a Journey' the film “Bound” by Kalliopi Lemos is an exploration of our internal boundaries, the ones we set for ourselves and limit our freedom. The artist uses the same linen bandages that were introduced in 2018 in her solo show at Gazelli Art House, London titled “All is to be Dared”. These bandages, woven with fragments of Sappho’s poems, become the main feature of the film, as they are the enabler element that triggers the story between four people, one actress and three actors. The performance of the actors is enhanced with excerpts from the books “A lover’s discourse” by Roland Barthes and “Eros the Bittersweet” by Anne Carson. As Kalliopi Lemos observes, we have all adopted a certain way to feel, to think, to act and react in our everyday lives. These bandages represent ideas and values that we embrace in life and sometimes become our own prisons.
