PCAI is glad to announce the participation of the PCAI collection artist Lito Kattou at the exhibition Nature Unbound, Between Remedy and Poison.
The exhibition is held on the occasion of the Cyprus Presidency of the Council of the EU 2026 at the Armenian Center for the Contemporary Art (NPAK) at Yerevan.
Nature Unbound, Between Remedy and Poison explores nature as a political, cultural, and symbolic field shaped by history, power, and collective memory. At its conceptual core lies the notion of the ancient Greek word pharmakon, as examined by Jacques Derrida in Plato’s Pharmacy, where pharmakon signifies both remedy and poison simultaneously. Through this duality, nature emerges as a site of care and destruction, healing and exploitation, refuge and entanglement.
Lito Kattou will participate in the exhibition with the artwork Closer from PCAI collection.
On the 20th of April 2020, San a fabricated digital character inhabiting Kattou’s video projects since 2017, was programmed to get to the outskirts of its original ecosystem situated close to Nicosia, Cyprus and which has been digitally simulated in a video game engine. On that evening at around 18:20 local time, the creature started following the Sun witnessed and recorded by the artist.
Curated by Artemis Eleftheriadou
