i can be alone, if i have to...

 

Few days before the 2nd lockdown i was invited to participate in an exhibition called ''Adraneia''.The show would last only three days so afterwards the owners would start the renovation of the building for a new hotel.The show postponed but luckily i had the keys so i could go inside the building.These are the interferneces i did in the spaces but only the first one was included in the exhibition.The show opened its doors secretly for six days due to the restrictions.

Here is a video from the art project and a website.

Thank you Krank and Okupa Hotel

time is all i need...

 

I visited these buildings with Anna Dimitriou last year in Oktober. The buildings were already looted and there were some graffiti. Even if they are not in the zone of the old airport of Athens I guess they are part of it. There is a plan since 2013 for development in the area and just recently the government announced the demolishion of some buildings. But I wasnt sure which buildings they were so I went for a quick visit couple of days ago. There are still a lot of things and few walls are intact. Hopefully next year I will do some stuff there before its completely gone.

 

the passion for abandonment has never gone...

An abandoned place in the suburbs of Athens. Hopefully it will stay virgin for future visit.

Thank you Kiki for the tip.

temporary castles...

I have been collecting used kitchen sponges from short term apartments for the last 1,5 years. It is a pity that this kind of material ends up in the rubbish. 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. These are the results of few experiments I did during our stay of the lockdown.

now more than ever...

Last year we ( me and my girlfriend ) were in Serifos for REMAINS
This is a sample of our waste for about 8 days including Kimolos and Milos
Most of the garbage are plastic bottles since you can't drink tap water on most greek islands and probably none. The rest are food packages from mini markets and take away shops.
I kept 2/5 of the waste to document it and to remind myself to make less.

"Man on Earth"

Series of maps made out of plastic bags,silicone and laminated maps.
Most of the bags are HDPE2 and LDPE4 glued with silicone on top of real maps that have been found. Some bags and maps have been bought since its not so easy to find in the streets.
More maps are on the way for a show in Vienna and Athens.
No abandonment for the moment.
