  • Anglela Grossman’s and Polixeni Papapetrou’s Adventures in Wonderland

    Silvia Sorbelli, The Concordia Undergraduate Journal of Art History, Concordia University, Montreal, Issue 2, 2006, pp. 113-119

    The After Alice exhibition, on display at the Maison de la Culture in the Plateau Mont-Royal from September 2-25, 2005, presented Angela Grossmann’s photographic series, Alpha Girls (2004-5) and Psychological Alice (2003-4), and Polixeni Papapetrou’s series, Wonderland (2003-4) and Dreamchild (2002-3). Amid myriad representations of young girls, the theme of childhood innocence emerged through a controversial association with the works of Reverend Charles Lutwidge Dodgson (also known as Lewis Carroll), the author of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass.

  • Strike a Pose

    Adrian Martin, Australian Art Collector, Sydney, Issue 28, April - June 2004, pp.102-106

    More than ever, contemporary photography in Australia (as in the rest of the world) is splitting starkly into two camps. On the one hand, there is documentary photography, bearing witness to the extremes of suburban grunge and the spontaneous effusions of daily life. And on the other hand, an extremely stylised type of photography which revels in artifice, in the constructed image.

  • Polixeni Papapetrou : à l’est de l’Eden

    Jean Paul Gavard Perret, Le Salon Littéraire, July 2015

    Face au Malin (souvent incarné en mâles) Polixeni Papapetrou se fait visionnaire d’une forme de paradis qui ignore la chute des corps féminins. Ils sont porteurs d’espoir, ils deviennent un miracle, une entorse face à la pesanteur du monde. L’artiste offre une sorte de rêve mais dont le romantisme est particulier et en quelque sorte dialectique. Il permet à l’alphabet féminin d’imposer non un logos mais une poésie. Elle devient une méditation sur l’essence du féminin, sa présence face à la barbarie des pouvoirs masculins.
