On the occasion of its 5th anniversary, DEO presents the exhibition Once We Were Gardens at the historic Karavas estate in Kampos, Chios. The exhibition examines the inevitable cycles of growth and decay, exploring the deterioration of bodies, ideas, spaces, and relationships through the evocative symbolism of the garden.
