Erato Hadjisavva, Wave. Video installation, 2003.<br />
The Alexandria Biennale for Mediterranean<br />
countries was the first international event<br />
in which Cyprus ever participated as an<br />
independent state back in 1963.<br />
This year, the 23rd Biennale of Alexandria<br />
generated great interest amongst the visitors<br />
and participants as it marked 50 years<br />
since it was inaugurated in 1955. The event<br />
acquired a festive character with the presence<br />
of many Ambassadors from European<br />
countries, the Egyptian Minister of Culture<br />
and the Governor of Alexandria.<br />
Participation was extensive – more than<br />
Biennale of Alexandria Prize<br />
eighty artists from eighteen countries, covering<br />
with their work the full spectrum<br />
of art: painting, sculpture, drawing, graphic<br />
arts and installations.<br />
First Prize<br />
Cyprus participated with three artists: Erato<br />
Hadjisavva, Savella Michael and Angelos<br />
Michaelides.<br />
Erato Hadjisavva made an excellent impression<br />
with her video installation entitled<br />
"Wave" and was awarded one of the five equal<br />
first prizes of the Biennale which constituted<br />
the Golden Lighthouse of Alexandria.
