Unlimited Bodies

group exhibition

'The world of reality has its limits; the world of imagination is boundless.' 
Jean - Jacques Rousseau

In a world that is defined by limits, parameters and absolute order, one is bound to wonder if one should surrender oneself to such restrictions. Unlimited Bodies questions the concept of limits via the medium of art and brings together a group of artists that dare to challenge conventional barriers and have chosen to refrain from anything that might restrict their own sense of being and expression. Through the artists works, we invite you to enter a world of escapism and self-discovery and question the limitations of your day-to-day life, imagination and your body.

Born in Greece, Olympia Polymeni is an artist and sculptor. After graduating in philosophy, she studied painting at Athens School of Fine Arts and moved to London in 2009 to pursue her studies, earning an MA in Fine Art from Central St. Martins College in 2010. Olympia is interested in the female form and ANOREXINEIA is a series of sculptures where she blends the effects of anorexia on the female body and the political situation of her own home country, Greece.
