First Person, 2018 is a two-part installation and Leonid Keller's contribution to the 1st edition of Paxos Biennale on the small Ionian island of Paxos, Greece. Inspired by an archive of images by a local, amateur photographer from the 1950s, as well as Venetian and Greek ruins, that have a strong relation to the political history and today's identity of the islanders, Leonid Keller developed a site specific installation in the courtyard of the old school building in Lakka, Paxos.
I look back/ At my fortune/ Hands flat/ Against my thighs/ Shoulders straight/ That balance shaken/ By the ground beneath my feet/ Your point of view
