About the exhibition
Students completing the Visual Arts program have spent a full academic year to research and realize a project related to their specific interests as emerging visual artists. Graduating students Anna Giakoumakatou, Maria-Luisa Dollete, Konstantina Chatzouli, Phoebe Kainourgiou, and Natalia Zara present the exhibition Permanent Temporality. Please join us at the opening to see their work and meet the artists.
We are living in a state of Permanent Temporality. As old as the earth and as new as the disruptive technologies that change our world by the millisecond, Permanent Temporality speaks to both an enduring philosophy of impermanence, and to a rupture in the timeline. Constant change characterizes the human condition, but for our graduating students, the accelerated existential threats and destabilization of norms manifest psychically through visual hallucinations, dysmorphia and escapist mechanisms which the artists interrogate and engage with. Their sustained acts to see the world explicitly blend their interior mental filters with memory and its errors, forging a subjective and authentic way forward. The exhibition invites viewers into their daily quest to navigate a disorienting present and make meaning of it.
Anna Giakoumakatou
Giakoumakatou’s Anemoessa is a multi-projection installation that reconstructs memory as a spatial, immersive environment. Drawing from personal and archival material, the work transforms fragments of lived experience into a unified, inhabitable space. Past and present coexist in shifting, layered images, revealing memory not as a fixed record, but as a living condition. Giakoumakatou’s practice explores memory, identity, and notions of home. As visitors navigate the space, they enter a state of recollection where absence and presence converge—where memory is not only revisited, but physically and emotionally experienced.
Maria-Luisa Dollete
How do you truly feel right now? Dollete’s immersive audiovisual installation Lunaris offers viewers the opportunity to honestly reflect on this vital question. Using the Moon as a vehicle for reconnecting to the Self and the natural world, Dollete’s installation consists of a large-scale moon projection and its watery reflection, 28 self-reflective questions, and a personal monologue. The resulting liminal and introspective space, inspired by Dollete’s own meditation and journaling practices, provides a pause from our fast-paced, technologically-driven, contemporary lives.
Konstantina Chatzouli
In Fluctuations, the artist creates a self portrait through depictions of a glitched urban landscape. In an attempt to explore distorted perception and confusion, Chatzouli translates the visual results of accidental digital errors into paintings and woven pieces. The labor intensive practices and purposeful detailings clash with the idea and speed of accidental digital distortion in a process similar to the artist’s own struggle to locate their analog self within the moving technological landscape.
Phoebe Kainourgiou
Kainourgiou’s process-based installation, Uniquely Yours, is formed through a practice of committed looking at and within herself. Over the course of 8 months, Kainourgiou made daily self-portraits accompanied by short diary entries in an attempt to know her ever-changing self. The installation consists of a long hallway of selected portraits and a video in which drawings of her face pass across her actual face. Inspired by her childhood practice of drawing in school notebooks as a means of escapism, she now makes a more personal and mature visual diary, to promote self-awareness instead. With her attempt to capture her genuine expressions, Kainougiou also comments on harmful societal ideologies about appearance. She explores themes of honesty, filtering, self-image, femininity, mental health, and the only true stability of this world, change.
Natalia Zara
With the installation Αστεροσκοπείο [Observatory], Natalia Zara explores the human need to revisit childhood experiences as a source of comfort and security. Inspired by the intuitive practices of child-play, the work evokes an innocent curiosity. The audience is faced with the installation’s exterior created by cluttered blankets and bedsheets forming a tent-like construction, a kind of pillow fort. Only through play will they discover the interior of the intimate, soft space, which operates as a shelter. Ultimately, Αστεροσκοπείο considers refuge and escapism at a time when global sociopolitical upheaval inevitably leads us to seek safety.
