CHRISTINA DIMITRIADIS SELECTED WORKS Opening: 21.11.2008 at 5-8 pm Duration: 21.11. - 20.12.2008 Galleri Tom Christoffersen is pleased to present Berlin-based, Greek-German artist, Christina Dimitriadis in her first solo show in Copenhagen. For this exhibition, the artist has carefully selected a group of some of the most important photographs that she has created over the last years, from 1996 to the present. Dimitriadis uses the medium of photography to articulate a very personal expression of space; one that is often autobiographical and based on her close personal and family relationships. With these works, she continues her examination of the self, time and space, place and history, interpreting each of these subjects in her own particular way. Her images are a meditation on the quotidian reality of existence that poses questions about how we occupy our most intimate and familiar spaces. For the most part, these works remain ambiguous, eschewing any straightforward reading or interpretation. Individual works, such as The Trap however, may be related to larger historical context. These cold, minimal images create a sense of poetic silence that is intimate, yet they do not allow for the proposal of any specific personal narrative. These concise and elegantly articulated photographs always keep the viewer at arm�s length, maintaining an underlying impenetrability and crystal clear beauty throughout. Christina Dimitriadis is born in Greece (1967) and lives and works in Berlin. She is trained in New York at the Parsons School of Design and New School for Social Research (graduated 1992) and from F.V.A (graduated 1993). Of previous exhibitions can be mentioned: Dystopia, (solo) Kanazawa Citizen's Art Center, Kanazawa (2006).

CHRISTINA DIMITRIADIS SELECTED WORKS Galleri Tom Christoffersen pr�senterer Christina Dimitriadis (GR/DE) f�rste separatudstilling i K�benhavn. Til udstillingen har kunstneren udvalgt de vigtigste fotografier fra 1996 til i dag. Selvom v�rkerne ofte er selvbiografiske og baseret p� t�tte personlige relationer, unders�ger kunstneren med sin s�rlige optik almene emner som: selvet, tid, rum, sted og historie. Billederne er samtidig en refleksion over det, at befinde sig i en hverdagsrealitet, for eksempel ved at sp�rge til hvordan, vi bebor de mest intime og velkendte rum. De fleste v�rker forbliver flertydige og kaster sj�ldent en klokkeklar l�sning af sig. Dog synes serien The Trap at referere direkte til en kunsthistorisk kontekst ved at ber�re vanitas � eller bare forg�ngelighed. De kolde, minimale billeder skaber en skr�belig og intim stilhed, der ikke desto mindre undsiger sig specifikke personlige fort�llinger. Disse elegant artikulerede fotografier opretholder en sl�ret distance og en skarp sk�nhed. Christina Dimitriadis er f�dt i Gr�kenland (1967) og bor i dag i Berlin. Hun har studeret I New York p� Parsons School of Design and New School for Social Research (afgang 1992) og p� F.V.A (afgang 1993).
