We came from an abyss of darkness we end in an abyss of darkness: the interval of light between one and another we name life. Participating artists, both international and Greek, have been inspired by Ascesis: The Saviors of Gods (Ασκητική), the spiritual exercises written by the renowned Cretan thinker, Nikos Kazantzakis.
