Jason Bonas, Alter Ego

What should you wear to go sailing? In this installation, Bonas suggests a new uniform for sailing by presenting a series of outerwear, crafted out of sails and other materials sourced from “Alter Ego”, his grandfather’s sailing yacht. Inspired by the mise-en-scène of a sailboat, the work appears as a series of hybrids between space, sculpture and garment that negotiate form, materiality, utility, and status. What kind of self is stitched into these materials?

Ioanna Bounazou, Lines of Liberation

In a series of paintings, Bounazou transforms constraint into freedom. Through expressive colors and dynamic gestures, she traces the journey from structure to spontaneity, inspired by her habit of doodling circles when feeling free and squares when feeling restricted. The paintings reflect the tension between control and release.

Elsa Eustergerling, Pink Funk

Eustergerling creates an immersive installation of personal notes, lists, reminders, and journal entries. Expanding beyond the wall into an abstract sculptural work, the work makes visible her experience with ADHD through its chaotic accumulation of notes, recognizing notetaking as both a coping mechanism and a mark of unseen private labor. By publicizing intimate thoughts, yet concealing some of its contents, Elsa explores the tension between public and private selves, offering a reflection on visibility and control.

Mengda Hu, To see eye to eye

Hu’s shadow installation is inspired by his myopic correction surgery. Using elaborate paper-cuts and light, the feast of shadows and reflections conveys a new way of viewing. Beyond the traditional visual boundaries and surface forms, and beyond the audience’s own metaphorical or physical limitations, Hu invites us to embrace what lies behind in the hidden dimension and to share in the beauty he sees.

Fani Koulocheri, And Now We Wait

Based on Greek Orthodox tradition, she refers to votive offerings known as “tamata”, while creating a dialogue with contemporary developments in medicine. FK shines a light on health issues considered taboo in modern societies, adorning their “grotesque” qualities. Her collection of artifacts confronts the viewer with the perspective of the patient who strives to cure their condition.

Phivi Nicolaou, Morpheus’ Bed

Mapping the invisible traces of sleep, Nicolaou preserves the fading impressions of the body at rest, revealing sleep as a site of transformation. Morpheus’ bed is a sculptural installation, a visual archive of subconscious movement and unconscious activity; where the mind has been, what remains in the folds, and how sleep marks the body’s presence in absence.

Vaggi Sekifu, Multiple – Single – Use

In the video installation Multiple – Single – Use, we are confronted with the gap between what should happen for the environment and our confidence about whether it will. Multi-year negotiations for a Global Plastics Treaty (INC) are set to conclude this August in Geneva. Though not confirmed, the Galapagos Islands have been proposed to host the signing of the treaty due to their unique biodiversity and vulnerability to plastic pollution. Sekifu’s work highlights single-use consumer culture and places responsibility on those with legislative power through its portrayal of a fictional scenario – one that seems highly unrealistic – in which the “Galapagos Treaty” global ban on the production and use of single-use plastics has been ratified.
