out of time...

 

Wanted to visit this place since 2014 but was not possible. Last days found out a new entrance and entered for the first time today. For almost two hours forgot all my issues and everything in general. One of the best abandoned factories ever visited. Next weekend plans to make some installations. Thank you for the pics Ivana

my part for Art Athina last month...

Whatever or ό,τι να'ναι 

Shredded clothes, glue and emulsion paint on found wood

All eyes on you...

The labels have been collected mostly from the flea market of Elaionas where all left overs of the previous sellers end up in the landfills of Nea Ionia. Wish I had a space big enough to take it all and create something. The t-shirt has been hand washed for obvious reasons. Clothing labels stitched on a used 100% cotton t-shirt XL of mine.

I have been collecting used kitchen sponges from short term apartments for the last 5 years. It is a pity that this kind of material ends up in the rubbish. When you wash your dishes with a sponge, it sheds tiny fibers. These fibers, a type of microplastics, can’t be filtered out by water treatment plants. These end up in the ocean where they join the millions of metric tons of plastic dumped there every year. Τhe synthetic materials that they’re composed of continue to release dioxins and formaldehyde into soil and the atmosphere. Every sponge has its unique color from its use by different people that stayed in each apartment. I did a part of Oia in Santorini. One of the most visited place in Greece. If you have been to the island you know they have a problem with waste management.

at last...

 

visited an abandoned place outskirts of Athens. Almost a virgin one but not worth visitng more than two times. Still interesting and planned for the next visit very soon.

Thank you Kiki for the ride
