3.details and information on pages 14,15,16 in the pdf document titled: details and photos of main events on cv
4.some architectural drawings and sketches as well as designs showing hor the sculpture would fit in a real constructed space.
if you cant see the scans of the drawings in this message, Iwill have to send them to you separately.
5.construction and performances held while exhibiting the piece and more

6.people painting inside and outside of it with washable paints at a later event











The semitransparency of the passage stands for the veil of consciousness, to see and to be seen, but yet somehow obscure, learning how to communicate.


sound plarform,2006
In the following pdf you may see characteristics of the ‘sound platform’.
Pages :18,19,20.


You may also get an idea of how the sound platform operates watching this video,








the visitor has to shake the rolling floor with his feet so that the metal elements start vibrating meeting together producing a metallic symphony.(which varies everytime).


a moment in space,2015

The photos are from a first presentation and experimentation on the interactive character of the event. This took place for two days in an empty office, at panepistimiou str at the number 59, ,on the fifth floor of megaro fix At the one link (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PwSsPZi6IZU) one sees all the action involved with the installation, and at the second link (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FGTKv1GabL0) is the summary of a performance based on the same idea with the installation 




the spectator sits on a tiny chair like a ckild , watching the shinny plegma of ribbons above , then listens to the sound  collage made out of echoes of the same world(cries, laughter, screams and sighs).(another aspect)).
(sound collage not included in the videos).

debate over paperwear

I will try to support the idea of paper wear. 1. Someone would be given the opportunity to find oneself naked in the middle of anywhere if something went wrong with his or her paper cloths. That presents a challenge. from my point of view 2. we would enter a new era in clothing. Enough of the stretchy and comfortable outfits and welcome the posture attitude. One would have to be extra cautious if you wanted to return home in one piece. ( clothwise). 3. lovers would enjoy the expression of their passion by tearing off each other's cloths, since that wouldn't be such a big deal. (I ll b uy you another magazine darling to make your tomorrow's dress ). 4. housewives wouldn't have messy cloths thrown on the floor, just paper, which sounds more innocent and accepting as positioned there. Some papers on the floor, eh, who cares!.. 5. ok, and now my strongest argument: if you ever find yourself in an emergency situation and there is no toilet paper around,.... you know what to do! A piece of cloth less won't hurt, besides will make you a lot sexier,!? --.. no? ok, Ok, I''ve gone too far. 6. with the cost of a magazine and a newspaper (less than ten euros), you would get fully dressed and also refreshed! So, I am conveinced!! I will try it.... ""? -£₩%}÷₩÷¤÷♡£×☆€ sorry, I m just gaming.

patience training

These series of paintings were inspired by the struggle I had to go through in and out of public service offices(where I was sent by mistake or not, since even the employees themselves didn't know exactly where I needed to go for the paperwork acquired), in order to shut down a company in my name, along with a serious amount of money I had to pay to the tax office in the end.


 1. courts
(mixed media on canvas, 125X90cm).



2. appeal court
(mixed media on canvas, 205X60cm).
                                                   
                                                       



3. city(county) court
(mixed media on canvas, 120X165cm)



4. service of legal representatives
(mixed media on canvas,165X90cm).




5. social service
(mized media on canvas, 60X165cm).


6. tax office.
(collage and paint, 185X90cm).

now going wearable..;!!

this worķ is based on creating the material for the .'fabric' used to make cloths. this material is a papercollage(with the possibility to transfer it into printed fabric),made of wish lists(items, places, excursions, dreams come true, desires waiting to be fullfilled), coĺected from magazines and newspapers., disposable printed ads and combined with the money flow involved in the process, presented as copies of money notes in various sizes. The frenzy is accompanied by extravagant fashion designs as appropriate. (see formal dress and hat).
   
                                                             
. Further in this "material' one fiinds as well political issues and human rights themes (which are also met in fashion magazines) intertwined again with copies of money notes. (see lovely stole for chilly

). more photos...

Documenta 14-σχολιο, comment

Μετά από το άρθρο που διάβασα στην Καθημερινή του κ. Π. Μανδραβελη, ο οποίος φοβάμαι πως όντως έγραψε την κριτική του μη έχοντας παρευρεθεί εκεί ουσιαστικά, παρα μονο χρησιμοποιώντας τις γνώσεις του και τις διακηρύξεις που διαβασε, ίσως και κάτι βιαστικές πρώτες εντυπώσεις κι έτσι ξεμπερδεψε με το άρθρο του και πήγε για μπάνιο. Είναι αλήθεια ότι κι εμένα μου μπήκαν πολλά ερωτηματικά ωστόσο παρόλο που ούτε τρανς ειμαι (απ'όσο ξέρω τον εαυτό μου), ούτε ανήκω σε περιθωριακή ομαδα, άγγιξαν με τις διαδικασίες τους την βαθυτερη αλήθεια μέσα μου κι έτσι τους εμπιστεύτηκα και τους παρακολούθησα με σπάνια για μένα (με τις υποχρεώσεις μου) συνέπεια. !Ακόμα δε ξέρω ακριβώς τι με έκανε να το κάνω αυτό, κατι σαν ότι ήταν συμπαθητικός ο τροπος; οτι είχαν μια αυθεντικότητα; Επειδη μου φανηκε οτι πραγματικα κατι ψαχνουν; Εκεί που άλλες εκδηλώσεις και φτιαχτες μου φαίνονται και ξένες.... παραξενο , πολύ παράξενο. Βρέθηκα να παρακολουθώ ανελλιπώς παρότι δε ταυτιζομουν κι ακριβώς!!! σίγουρα πάντως δε θα ξεμπέρδευα στα γρήγορα μαζί τους.... πήρα επίσης θάρρος και ανέσυρα ενα βίντεο μου(θα το βρειτε παρακατω), που το ειχα καταχωνιασμενο, συμβαίνουν και μερικά καλά, που και που, σαυτον τον τόπο.
Ρίξτε μια ματια.

After reading an article in the newspaper Kathimerini from Mr. P. Μandravelis, who,  I am afraid, formed his critic about the event based only on his general knowledge  and the announcement of the event, maybe some quick visits at the beginning, not very profound attending really. So he probably got over and done with his article and went.. for a swim.
It's true that the whole lot brought some questions to me too.  Yet, and even since I am no trans (at least as far as I know myself up to now), either I belong to marginal groups, it seems  that their procedures reached a deeper  inner truth in me.
So I trusted them and watched the event carefully with a rare for me (because of obligations), continuity.
I still can't say exactly why I did so, was it that they had a sympathetic way, was it some authenticity, or that they were really looking for something? Where other events seemed rather pretentious and alienating. Very, very strange.  I found myself attending and trying not to miss a day,  although I did not identify exactly with what was going on. Certainly though I wasn't going to surpass this so easily...
I even found the courage to bring up front a video of mine, which I kept hidden (thinking it as inappropriate). You may find it a bit further  down.
Sometimes good things come out of unexpected events, even in this country!!!
Have a look.

28/9-tea on the balcony -resolution

28/9-fifth day and last day of project 'tea on the balcony'. Since I discovered the tea in the street I 've been wondering what was unique about the tea on the balcony that couldn't be replaced with a cup of tea elsewhere. I thought it is the view that counts, and in particular the view of the sea. So I had to think about that. To begin with I need to recover from the shock once we started hearing that in the sea and especially in the stretch of sea between Lesvos island and Turkey which I know so well, (since it happens to be my land of origin), people were dying and still are drowning on their effort to enter my country Greece endangering their lives in little boats which they have to sink once they reach the Greek territory so they can be 'rescued' as refugees. I need to reclaim the sea as a lovely thing. I need time and time again watching the sea over and over until I calm down and feel better. I understand that refugees are very troubled but I am a human being too... ww.myartinaction.yolasite.com, through which you will go to my youtubelink to see the closing video, make sure you watch all the playlist labeled ' tea on the balcony',
 thank you for following this project.
