"Foteini Palpana’s installation If you were written on ice you would be
equally indecipherable focuses on the visual information, the tactile relations
and the remnants of a violent dialectic organized around a steady
observer. We are dealing with the recreation of hermetically sealed
surfaces bearing the signs of indecipherable writings. The network of
crevices on the surface of a rock is viewed by the artist as a
cryptogram that can be transcribed, but not necessarily interpreted."
