Rika Krithara is a visual artist born in Athens, Greece. Her work includes video installations, sculpture and photography. Field work in remote mountain locations has been an integral part of her creative process. The artist is in awe before the mountains, which are her creative obsession. In her 2002 work for the Averoff Museum exhibition, she produced a large scale installation titled Ravine, a double projection on two screens forming a narrow, claustrophobic passage with rapid projection of rocky mountain walls and water. In Ravine, the arrival at the passage reach the symbolic difficulty of the passing from one world to another.
