What triggered me to start this research is the multiplicity of reality. How something is represented, how it actually is and then how we all perceive it in our very own way. In that sense reality doesn’t exist, only versions of it. The lack of awareness of this multiplicity affects a lot our lives; what we believe, what we take as granted and how he behave.Through this practice based research I am experimenting on how to create moments of surprise and realization for the spectator.
I work with copies and representations, replicas as I like to call them. The Replicas can be made of different materials, can be virtual or very physical. Until now I used scale models, mirrors and projections but the list is endless; so are the different ways to use the replicas or the impact that they will have.
The way that the replicas are introduced to the spectator and their interaction is also very crucial in my work and another field to research. The movement and the body play a significant role to this. The special relationship that we have with our body, the way that we perceive it and how the movement can reset these relations and affect how we experience things.

This exposition is in progress and its share status is: visible to all.
Inspired by Bjork's lyrics (Atopos), 'Hope is a muscle that allows us to connect,' Eleni and Tamara collaboratively shape this project. Treating hope as a resilient and adaptive muscle, they explore through photography, scenography, sound, music, and light. Nostalgically embracing childhood memories with a gentle retro vibe, they gently unveil enduring fragments of hope. Eleni Palogou, as a scenographer, weaves visual narratives, while Tamara, as a sound artist, complements the installation with an ambient sound piece crafted from various recordings of memories. Together, they enrich this exploration of quiet sources of hope that persist even in the darkest corners of our times.

This study investigates how social inequalities are embedded in space, analyzing how these disparities are shaped and perpetuated through spatial dynamics. It highlights the self-reinforcing feedback loop where space becomes both a product and a driver of social inequality.
