This series of photo-based and on-site improvisational performances explore home, memory, and loss. The work centers on a specific typology of Athenian property: homes in neighborhoods transformed by migration, shifting social patterns, and the aftermath of the Greek economic crisis. Many of these structures are in the process of been repurposed by foreign investment into transient, short-term housing.
The rapid change of ownership and functional status erases a big part of the domestic and cultural identity of these homes but also creates a new ambiguous reality and an anticipated new life. Repositioning the female homemaker and hostess in homes at this transitional stage, is an act of inhabiting a fictional, interim state where the meaning of home is imagined and revisited as a memory.
