Arrayed Vessels
A collaboration with Silvia Noronha
commissioned by the IFA Gallery Stuttgart for the exhibtion (Re)Born from Volcanoes
A transgenerational collective process of engagement with soil that involved the collection of materials around the volcanoes Etna and Stromboli and on site, combining and recombining them, and creating pieces once again transformed by the fire and other continuous processes, such as petrification. The artwork proposes different intuitive forms of playing with soil and with the unexpected outcomes of its interaction with fire, air and water.
The vessels are not single object outcomes but a set inseparable from their whole. They are vehicles for a continuous movement of transformation that will go on throughout the exhibition, as well as a medium for our awareness about the connectivity and pulse that reigns on Earth/earth. The parts and the elements created individually and together compose a body of dynamic interactions and reflections on soil at several scales, from a little pebble found in the backyard to the atmosphere that involves our whole planet.
Incessant Bassin
A collaboration with Maria Sideri
Incessant Basin is an expanding sonic diary practice and a performative archive connected with a sound installation and a transmission environment. The sound installation compiles recordings and sounds from the cities of Athens, Alexandria, and Marseille and other places in Greece and Egypt visited during the artistic residency School for Sonic Memory, part of the project ALEXANDRIA: (RE)ACTIVATING COMMON URBAN IMAGINARIES. The material gives the stage to the materiality and to the agency of sounds to narrate their own stories of the cities and their watery lives. A transmission environment connected with a sound installation offers a dynamic structure to host and display this collection, in which the experience in the space generates the output.
