Kinesis: Repetitive Marches




It’s been a while since I was invited to the @secondchance.dafni exhibition by @drkantartzis. Alongside the talented artists and friends @ematmospherrust, @goumas_vasilis, and Ilias, we combined forces for the curation of a room at Dafni Psychiatric Hospital, creating a comprehensive experience


Flies that spread, carrying the disease of stochastic thinking. Flies that invade every corner, devastating space. Sneaking in, they irritate the audience, triggering movement even from the most indifferent.

The more I learn about them, the more I’m inspired by their diversity and unique biological traits. Mimicking their habits, I transformed the room at Dafni Psychiatric Hospital into a space of correlations. Here, balance, size, and visual stimuli are disrupted. Found objects from former inmates were reassembled to provoke discussion on the side effects of psychotropics and the nature of mental illness. A crack in the sphere of reality.
