Spannung/tension/ένταση/tentio

“Tension” describes strength or intensity, the manifestation of something with force. The word itself has so many parallel interpretations that it expresses, beyond physical situations, emotions, conflicts and contradictions, that is, the essence of human nature.

Is tension an ongoing state of internal worry? Or is it a feeling of excitement and anticipation? Seven artists featured in the exhibition, and ten performance artists, lead us through their unique thought processes in a world of contradictions and conflicts, in a game of balance and power.
