The Inner Landscapes - Dialogues #3 is the result of the artistic collaboration of Alexandra Margarint, April Ibinceanu, and Martyna Benedyka. Their common experiences with physical and mental suffering, disease, loss or resilience in the face of a worldwide pandemic drew them closer together. The three artists engaged in conversation about loneliness and isolation in times of pain in order to create a private space by echoing, responding, and starting a dialogue.
Dialogues #3 is part of the Dialogues Hybrid Project created by Elisavet Kalpaxi in 2022.
