Islington studio flat 4, at 14 Barnsbury Road, London, 2022, privately rented. Interior design and styling, as art installation. Looted, 2024. Investigatory research with artworks, 2023-24. Interactive research blog. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Looting https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loot_(magazine) My personal belongings were still at the property for two months, after I left on 27 March 2024 and was asked to collect them by 3 or 4 April from Woolwich. After I left, the landlords moved in two or three under aged, who I have never met, so that they pretend to be my daughters. Subsequently, they must have been 'removing' them one by one over the last few months and until October 2024. The company behind 14 Barnsbury Road was deemed illegal through the courts, on 22 April, 2024, shortly after I was forced to leave at the end of March. The maintenance employed many Polish citizens, all dressed in black with black caps, adopting the XRW supporters' fashion code. The household of tenants was mixed and multicultural, but mainly British natives, with the exception of a couple from Hong-Kong, an American citizen, and myself, a naturalised British citizen, originally from Greece. Twenty-one (20+1) digital photographs of the studio, for twenty (20) missing Albanian and of Albanian ethnicity, non-EU immigrants; as well as one (1) missing Italian citizen. Golden Dawn has taken responsibility. The twenty-one confirmed persons, whose details got stolen were abducted by mainly Golden Dawn and, secondarily, the NRM; they are deceased. A new 2025 addition of one (1) more fake passport, Greek, of a woman of Greek citizenship abducted, most likely in the US, circa 2022: making it to a total of twenty-two (22). Finally, a fake Greek passport in my.artistic name, Betty Nigianni, for a teenager, was found in 2025. This last fake gives a total of twenty-three (23). Twenty-two (22) and twenty-three (23) photographs, including two (2) plus one (1) of myself: NOT a missing person, from the 2022-2023 period in the eventually looted, in spring 2024, Islington studio. Two (2), plus one (1) targeted cultural producers: the anti-fascist Greek musician, Pavlos Fyssas, aka Killah P. (domestic); the French/Belgian filmmaker of Jewish origins, Chantal Akerman (global), who lived and worked in France, as well as the US, and whose personal details, specifically her life insurance policy and her medical file, got stolen in connection with the case, can be added to the toll of two (2) deceased. My personal details, name known as and artistic name, as well as numbers connected to my personal details, were stolen, too, while I (post-global) was targeted as a cultural producer, an artist and former academic. Was I going to be the third victim? Golden Dawn were originally pagans, drawing from the ancient Greek mythology and ritualistic practices, including human sacrifice. The visual imagery and the art included in the photographs is influenced by the marketing and advertising industry; I brushed shoulders briefly with students in the creative industries teaching at the Winchester School of Art. I used this an ironic commentary on Golden Dawn trying unsuccessfully to create a brand through propaganda, not political marketing. The art world has been traditionally male-dominated. This has not changed dramatically in contemporary art. Female artists have sometimes adopted male attitudes, or personas, to break into the art scene; see Sarah Lucas and Tracey Emin from the YBA movement. I hold the view that art is not gendered, that there is no art for women or so-called women's art. Good art transcends such categories, tapping into more universal experiences. Saying this, I would like to quote Nancy Spero, who doesn't crudely distinguish between male and female art, as follows:"What if the default gender for 'artist' were female? What if, when we looked at a work by a woman, we said to ourselves, "That is art," and when we looked at a work by a man, we automatically identified it in our minds as 'men's art'?" In 1999, I wrote a long essay about the architectural uncanny, which I submitted as my graduation thesis for my first MA in architectural theory. I called it "Space as a 'Bad' Object: A criminal investigation on the notion of space". I got inspiration from detective novels and real-life crime stories. The long essay was about the role of architectural space in crime. It was unsupervised until submission: I received a distinction by a Bartlett staff member. I took the digital photographs in conceptual adherence with that essay. I was a postgraduate philosophy student 9/2017-11/2019 at the University of Amsterdam, Netherlands. In this exposition, I include new photographs from a series of digital photography called "Forensics", taken with my mobile phone, after I was forced to leave the Islington property I was renting, on 27 March 2024. I gave the photography series that name, because it has served the purpose of investigating, recording and tracking a crime, for which architectural space, such as private rentals, has been used. For Chris, my former neighbour, who was suddenly transferred by his employer, from London, where his daughter lives, to somewhere outside of London; and for Lawrence, a second generation immigrant from Nigeria, whose temporary post was prematurely terminated, though he was planning to return to his legal studies. And for Ali. And for Oliver, also my former neighbour. In memory of Howard, also a tenant at Bellview, and former neighbour. To all those who don't just "play" the cultural and racial diversity clause; they don't just rely on identity politics, because the class problem has not been resolved for them, either. Saying this, the UK must still be scoring high on racism, especially for people of African descent. A Nigerian was among the Golden Dawn victims of assassination in Greece. I was listening frequently to Massive Attack, a British trip-hop band, when I was living in Islington. Sophie Calle is a French writer and photographer, working on themes of identity, intimacy and everyday existence. Her work is partly inspired by the detective fiction genre.

Preparatory work for art installation, 2016-present. Happening, 2016. Participant's empirical research, including improvised full recorded interview with first generation Albanian immigrants to Greece, images, and thematic text. The research was conducted for the workshop, "Logics of Worlds", inspired by Alain Badiou's work and organised by architect Filippos Oraiopoulos, at Athens School of Fine Art (ASFA), Master of Visual Arts (Marios Spiliopoulos, Giorgios Xiropaides), December 2016. Adopting on own initiative the political approach of Badiou's "L' Organisation Politique", to apply direct intervention for societal problems, including immigration and labour, I used play as a method to facilitate improvised discussions. People share and respond more freely when participating in structured, but playful interactions, such as those a game involves. Albanians speak three languages, Albanian, Italian and, only a few of them, Greek, so I wasn't able to translate parts of the conversation. Avlona is an English now obsolete name for Vlore, an Albanian seaport and former ancient Greek colony Aulon. Albanians came as non-EU refugees in Greece initially in the 1990s, after the fall of communism in their home country. Religion was banned in communist countries; nowadays, Albanian-Muslims consist of 59% of the Albanian demographics, with other religious denominations, such as Christian Catholics, taking smaller percentages of the country's population. The democratisation of Albania began shortly afterwards, in 1994, when Albanians started protesting for political and religious pluralism in their country. At the beginning of the transition period after communism, under the Democratic Party government, Vlore became a port through which smuggling, mainly from Italy, was taking place. Notably, the men I spoke to didn't want to be visualised. Hence, the exposition aims to juxtapose the experimental and the conceptual in the fine arts; and to make the 'invisible' visible. Badiou is also known for his philosophy of metaphysics of the four "truth procedures": Politics, Science, Love and Art. The workshop was slightly interrupted by a performing arts student, who brought a live hen to slaughter in the studio. This can be taken as a metaphor for scapegoating non-EU refugees, by symbolically re-assigning the gender of male, or female persons, who are not non-EU refugees. I don't have any personal or other familial connections with Albania - or Kosovo, or North Macedonia, which are both former Yugoslavian countries; all the nationalities, including Albanian, shown on fifteen (15) fake non-EU passports, used illegally in the UK from 2013 and 2014, until 2023. I had never even visited those countries before the summer of 2024. I found out those countries are a completely different world, as ex-communist countries. For instance, in Albania, they only have state television, they don't sell Western music, they rarely play it in bars that most close at midnight, even in the summer on the coast. The 2016 ASFA project was for the purpose of researching and documenting, in an artistic and ethnographic manner, the refugee and immigration crisis, as I experienced it in my native Greece, as well as to voice my opinions on this topic, from my perspective as a native Greek. I spoke to non-EU economic refugees, who must not be confused with political asylum seekers: those are people who encounter persecution for political and ideological reasons from their countries of origin and citizenship; unlike illegal or legal economic immigrants, such as the men I spoke to, who immigrate purely for economic reasons. Albania, Kosovo, and North Macedonia, all the nationalities on the fake non-EU passports, including Albanian, used in the UK successively, from 2013 and 2014 until 2023, when they were cancelled by the UK Home Office, are non-EU countries. Greece, my native, my parents' and grandparents' native, has been in the EU since 1981. I have also been a British national, by naturalisation, since 2011, for the purpose of voting and for political participation in the UK, where I have spent most of my adult life. Paradoxically - or not so paradoxically, because I had also been investigating this case - the project's political outcome, since 2020 and 2023, was that three fictitious "daughters" of mine had been on the Met police's databases, as born in 2007, 2002 and 2001, Italian and Albanian female sex offenders; as well as two fictitious Albanian "sons" of mine, both thugs, as born in 2003 and 2004, on the National Police's databases. This was until recently, summer 2024 and spring 2025, making it a total of six (6) and five (5), as well as two (2), with the latter still pending. Based on counterfactual thinking, when we hypothesise with false antecedents, supposedly, I must had given birth to a daughter, of an unknown father, in Albania: 2001, 2002 and 2007: the "prostitutes"! Likewise, with the counterfactual thinking about me supposedly giving birth to two "schizophrenic" sons, Panagiotis Nigiannis, both, Albanians, born in Albania: 2003 and 2004! Let alone the son from Kosovo, born in 2009, in Kosovo! All of unknown fathers, because children take their father's surname, pointing at a sheer smear campaign of impossibility against myself. The above is NOT believable, because I had not been to Albania or Kosovo, before the summer of 2024, while I don't even know whether someone just being born in Albania or Kosovo automatically qualifies them for that citizenship. Even that wouldn't be possible, because I don't have Albanian or Kosovo nationality myself. The above simply reflects Golden Dawn's, the BNP's (the XRW UK component), the NRM's, and others', bizarre cultural "imagination", with regards to Albanians and Kosovo-Albanian citizens, scapegoating them, for the explicit purpose of causing me a serious case of digital identity fraud, tied in with a Golden Dawn known crime, the assassination of Greek left-wing, anti-fascist rapper Pavlos Fyssas, aka Killah P. Even as we speak, the 2020 police files were corrected with the persons' legal details since September 2024; however the relevant databases were updated and cleared in early spring 2025. What were the reasons? As far as the 2023 records are concerned, which were created when I was living in London and the fraud case first became known. Saying the above, it hadn't crossed their minds that it's not possible to have more than three citizenship, which is also dependent on the countries of citizenship. I only have two. Factually speaking, in 2002, I was living in Athens, Greece, engaged to be married to my former husband, a Greek left-wing national, while I was working at MOB (Mauve) Architects, as an architect designer, with an international cohort of colleagues. I got married in 2003. I lived in Athens until 2004, where I also worked for R.C.Tech architects. In 2001 and the period after 2004, I lived in the UK, working as an architect and in higher education. I don't have children. Women go through nine months of pregnancy, with medical records of pregnancy, before going into child birth. I gained my first practical experience as an architect in the UK, working in private architectural practice from 1999 until 2002. I didn't have children. The police files (2018X2, 2020X2), created with fake IDs, were finally corrected by September 2024, including records of falsely alleged children of mine born between 2002 and 2004, when I lived and worked in my native Greece. The police databases were corrected by early spring 2025. What were the reasons and why was the Met "misbehaving"? And what has happened with the (2023X1) police files of a trafficked teen, like the above? Notably, in 2007, I was living in London since 2005, working as an EU/Greek university lecturer. When the G20 summit demonstrations took place in London, in 2009, with the known criminal case of the death of Ian Tomlison by a police officer, named Simon Harwood - the journalist, Paul Lewis, conducted the investigation and Sir Keir Starmer was the prosecutor. No, I didn't give birth to a child called "Chrysanthi Nigianni", Albanian; neither a "Panagiotis Nigiannis" from Kosovo: there are simply NO children in my medical records in 2009. By that time, I had lived in the UK since 2005, working as an EU/Greek lecturer at the University of East London, where I was also known as Betty Nigianni (aka), by my students and colleagues. I never participated in any public demonstrations in the UK. However I have attended demonstrations in my native Greece and, in 2019, in the Netherlands, without ever having any interactions with police. It is not uncommon for politically minded cultural producers and left-wing academics, to participate peacefully in public demonstrations about causes they support, such as anti-racism, anti-capitalism, anti-austerity, environmentalism, and the nuclear arms disarmament. This is also the tradition and political legacy of the so-called "other Greek left", who are cooperative with all sorts of people, on mutual agreement that some things are given to all, such as security and liberty, and should be safeguarded in civil and democratic societies. There are no children in my medical records, which would include pregnancies, during the whole time I have lived in the UK, which is a total of seventeen years, plus: twelve of those being a British citizen. Greek children (Italian, Albanian, almost all children, besides those of British parents, who take whatever name) take their father's surname; fathers are also almost always tracked. Greeks don't have many (or any) children; they're suffering from a shrinking population for economic reasons, despite being in the EU since 1981. The offensive hate campaign against someone like myself, who has never been a mother, but cares about children and young people. Following on the above, because aspects of the propagandistic rhetoric are to instill fear of immigrants, EU nationality supersedes all non-EU nationalities. This means that EU nationals simply CANNOT be non-EU immigrants; or, even worse, so-called non-EU refugees, meaning illegal immigrants, who go to the UK and other EU countries in boats and are summoned at the border. NO ONE CAN HAVE FOUR NATIONALITIES, like one of the lot, also a mother, was purporting, because she had four fake passports with four different nationalities: two non-EU and two EU. My concerns about serious international organised criminal activity, not even honouring children's and teens' basic rights, were reported and confirmed by the Greek, Scandinavian (though some are lagging behind, mainly in Sweden) and Albanian state authorities, as evidenced in documents that I made part of this exposition. The British authorities have been lagging behind for a long time; intentionally, with their impossible, unverified and unsupported by evidence, "stories", bashing the left and the liberals, or whatever is left of them, as well as whoever is decent, whatever has been left of that, too. The Greek police confirmed in 2024 that all claims about children of mine, also between 2002 and 2004 when I lived in my native Greece, have been dismissed, including false claims about myself having a child with Loucas Papadimos (recently flipped to the father being Keir Starmer); they wanted to know what details of mine had been stolen. The Greek Golden Dawn - with their "Big Idea" (Megali Idea) of conquering foreign countries, like North Macedonia and the Southern part of Albania, as well as their chronic attacks on immigrants and refugees in Greece - was convicted as a criminal organisation in October 2020, after a five year long public prosecution, which started in 2015, with the then left-wing SYRIZA government, while it was concluded in autumn 2020, under the 2019 elected New Democracy government. With regards to the Greek, centre-left SYRIZA party, as it was led by Alexis Tsipras, I note that Zoe Konstantopoulou, a lawyer and former speaker of the Hellenic Parliament, as well as responsible for the justice, transparency and human rights brief for SYRIZA,, compiled the "Black Book of Shame", a case study of Greek political and financial scandals, between 2012-2014. Golden Dawn invented the 'concept' of the 'Real Greek', dependent on any Greek's political orientation, which is not an ancestry or race root; it's just ideology. A grotesque and perverted manifestation of their view of Greekness was the 22nd fake passport, which was, in fact, a FAKE Greek passport, in my deceased mother's name, for someone born in 1976, found in 2025, but used in the UK since 2022. Needless to say, the Greek race is a separate, one of the most ancient races, but they have become intermixed, over the centuries, like other ancient races, because of population movements, due to war, primarily in the past, and in modern times, due to immigration. The modern Greeks still have distinctive cultural characteristics, such as the Greek language and the Greek Orthodox religion, which sustained the Greeks during the four centuries of Ottoman occupation. People may also find distinct to other Mediterranean people Greek racial characteristics that have survived over the centuries. Based on a twisted notion of the 'Real Greek', connected with political ideology, not race or cultural characteristics, Golden Dawn digs up their target's ancestry. In my case, covering three generations, there are seven (7) Greek ancestors on my father's side, plus one (1), who was an Italian ancestor, my father's grandfather, with the first name Gianni, surname unknown; and eight (8) Greek ancestors on my mother's side. All the Greek ancestors were Christian Orthodox; I do not know about the Italian ancestor, whether he might have been an Italian Jew, since they were persecuted by Italian Catholics at the time my ancestor moved to Greece from the North of Italy and became Hellenicised. Golden Dawn has been losing their sixty-seven (67) appeals and early releases, because of my international work that was very risky, due to the organised crime methods followed in this case and all of Golden Dawn's criminal cases. The pairs: "Panagiotis (Nigiannis)" (b.2003) - "Betty (Nigianni)" (b. 2001); and "Panagiotis" (b. 2004) - "Betty" (b. 2002); were resolved with the local government in Southampton and in Hackney, London, respectively, as well as in Camden and Haringey, London, just recently, spring 2025. This means there are no local government records, including council tax, housing, and social security, records in any of the above names and ages. I note that the "Betty" supposedly born in 2001 and 2002, as well as "Panagiotis", supposedly born in 2003, were adults, 17+, in 2020. With regards to the supposed "Panagiotis", born in 2004, who would be -17 in 2020. In 2021, the previous tax year to 2022, when someone did money laundering into my bank account, none of those would be -17 years old, which is the age threshold for those considered children, whose parents might collect child benefit in the UK. Three more fake passports were found spring-summer 2025: a fake Greek with the fake details Eleni Nigianni, born 1976; a fake Greek with the fake details Betty Nigianni, born 2007; and a fake Spanish with the fake details Betty Nigianni, born 2001. The conversation included in this exposition took place during the period Golden Dawn was prosecuted in the Greek High Courts of Justice (Areios Pagos). I was living in Athens at the time, from the summer of 2015 and remained in Athens until 2017, during the period of the second SYRIZA government, elected previously for the first time in Greek politics, which was historic on its own. Despite the fact that they were frightened, many non-EU immigrants to Greece provided testimonies in the courts during that same period. Manolis Glezos was the only Greek politician, who went to visit Magda Fyssa, Pavlos' mother, a simple seamstress, in the Greek courts. For Pavlos Fyssas, aka Killah P; assassinated at age 34. For Alain Badiou, a communist-Maoist political philosopher, and the OP. For the abducted Albanian and of Albanian ethnicity immigrants. For the Italian and Greek abducted. For Michalis Katsouris; assassinated at age 29. For the "Other Greek Left". For Chantal Akerman, deceased 2015 in Paris, France. Thanks to the Albanian embassy in London, the General Directorate of the State's Police in Tirane: some still call it "communist" police, though I must admit I didn't liaise with any Albanian police officers that appeared remotely communist - in my view, it's just not neo-liberalised - as well as the Durres police, mentioning I am not tax subject in Albania, and the Durres prosecutor, who took my case in autumn 2024. Thanks to Edi Rama and his Socialist Party, a coalition of left-wing parties, the government, for all the work that was done in the summer of 2024, during my first ever visit to Albania; they offered me an informal political asylum, based on my case that Rama's government found critical. Thanks to the Norwegian Labour Party of Jonas Ghar Store and left-wing coalition government; they offered me formal political asylum, though abruptly terminated, as well as a settlement with my Greek passport, since Norway is in Schengen. Most importantly, they settled financially four fake Albanian passports with Albania. Thanks to Skopje police and Prishtine police; as well as to the newly elected, after my visit, Socialist Party in North Macedonia. Thanks to the Italian police at Bari. Last but not least: thanks to the Greek police chief, Marinos Stagakis, and the Greek police organised crime division, specifically Ioannis Papakostas, who spoke to me on the phone in the summer of 2022, offering a starting point. Thanks to the Swedish London embassy and the Norwegian London embassy that confirmed the identified and reported NRM male membership. Thanks to the US London embassy that came in late, in the summer of 2024; the work probably hasn't finished, although counterfeit were removed; the Chantal Akerman connection to the case is the link to the US, where the late filmmaker lived and worked as an academic. Thanks to the Oslo Greek embassy, autumn 2024, for handling my application for my new Greek passport within a short time frame. Thanks to the French police, autumn 2024. THANKS to the Swedish police, autumn 2024. Warmest thanks to the French police in Paris, 5 and 6 arrondisements, April, with an English speaking police officer; and update in May 2025 at the same police station, with a police officer who used Google translate to communicate with me. Gare du Nord police was disappointing with a robbery of my blue Nike rucksack and new used laptop in a Samsonite laptop bag, partly because they don't speak English and were getting facts wrongly; and despite the fact that I visited the 5 and 6 arrondisement police station on 11 May holding precisely those two bags. Finally, thanks to the exceptionally few (counting on one hand) Met police officers, who eventually figured it out, as well as those British, such as the current British prime minister, Keir Starmer, since 2023, which is when I first got to know of him, by researching his profile online - special thanks, since we have never met, however his work has not finished yet, having inherited three years at least of inefficient, stop-and-start, public administration. Other British, working behind the scenes for the last three or more years; no one is flawless, keep it up. More recently, thanks to others, international, from Albania, Germany, Sweden and Norway. It would not have been possible without them. It has been a long process with many obstacles along the way, seemingly insurmountable, but as proven not. This hasn't finished yet, but I am optimistic there will be an end to it. For peace and for safeguarding democracy and everything that comes with it. Investigatory research on Golden Dawn and international affiliates, with legal and political activism, surrounded by artworks, 2016-2025. The text is written like a very long rap song.

This visual essay explores images generated through AI-based expansion of a simple photographic composition. Without commands or prompts, the system infers human gestures, shadows, and presences — inventing what was never there. The project questions authorship, visibility, and the power of symbolic residue when language no longer mediates creation. It is not about representation — it is about refusal, inference, and the unsettling persistence of images beyond intention.

Home page of the Journal of Sonic Studies

In a world saturated with sonic and social noise, this project positions listening as a deliberate, ethical, and relational practice. Through a series of interdisciplinary performances and compositions, I investigate how improvisation and spatial acoustics can cultivate human connection, challenge perceptual norms, and activate space as a responsive collaborator. Drawing on theories from acoustic ecology, performance studies, and architecture, particularly the work of Beatriz Colomina, Paulina Oliveros, Blesser and Salter, I explore how environments shape musical communication and identity. Improvisation functions not only as a musical technique, but also as a method of social engagement and shared authorship. This research embraces openness, embodiment, and collective presence as central to how music is created, perceived, and lived.
