Katerina Tsakiri & Klara Lord
The Infinite Pond
17 Jan 2025 - 8 Feb 2025
In this exhibition, Klara Lord and Katerina Tsakiri explore ways of transformation and alternative uses of the materials in their practices. With gentle or forceful interactions Polaroid films and ceramic tiles have been shaped and reshaped.
Both the ceramic tile and the Polaroid were produced with specific function or use in mind, the tiles being recognizable ordinary objects and the Polaroid well known to capture everyday moments and highlight them into memories. Here instead the polaroid has become the medium of creating new landscapes, capturing imagery corresponding to inner emotional worlds, and the tiles overcooked and transformed into a series of suspicious food dishes. In these works, the artists relinquish control, highlighting that the material possesses a behavior of its own.
Welcome to the observation of overheated destructions and exposure interruptions!
