Vitrina Solo Presentation 2012, the Vitrina of Openshowstudio Art Space, Athens (Greece).

This in situ installation on the Vitrina of Openshowstudio derives out of the intention to marginalize space through both improvisation and controlled gesture as far as administration and placement of various materials in the specific place are concerned.

Visible from the street 24 hours per day.

Special thanks to Nana Sachini

“…Only seemingly does chaos resign in the Cabinet of Wonder,however:to the mind of the medieval scolar,it was a sort of microcosm that reproduced,in its harmonious confusion,the animal,vegetable,and mineral macrocosm.This is why the individual objects seem to find their meaning only side by side with others ,between the walls of a room in which the scholar could measure at every moment the boundaries of the universe…”

Giorgio Agamben
