An ace up my sleeve, 2026
In a fraction of time, 2026
The sculpture «An Ace Up My Sleeve» belongs to the series «Nematographies» (Νηματογραφίες). The term «Nematography» is a neologism describing a new, imagined geography formed by the hand through thread. It suggests a systematic mapping of a hybrid landscape, urban, natural, corporeal, gendered, a new terrain shaped through revisitations and mental wanderings, guided by hands that substitute for the eyes. Often, the work records unspoken or semi-transparent observations and associations, forming a veil, a textile, or, following Hélène Cixous, a sext. In this particular case, the outline of the piece follows a sleeve pattern, further grounding the discourse by borrowing the language of garment construction.
The installation «In a fraction of time» is a complex of four works exploring the relationship between the body, time, and the terrain. The body is conceived as an interweaving: the variability of its boundaries, the distortion of form, the fragility of the skeleton, the process of embodiment, as well as its vulnerability to the passage of time and its traces (aging, scars, etc.).
