The imposing carcass of the “Ψυγεία ο Ψηλορείτης” building, next to Kifissos, played a decisive role for the project of the SuperSport#3 initiative. The way I chose to intervene in the space with the installation After is through DIY construction and tactile mediation. My intention to reproduce the very thin metal serpentine that is industrially produced in a handmade rough-hewn way is the core of this in situ work that changes form and content depending on the natural light and weather conditions. The intention of the work is to stage an ephemeral event that preceded while we are present in its aftermath. What reflects the morning light on the floor returns like a rhythmic shiver to the surrounding walls, but with the arrival of rain and the wind that enters unhindered through the uncovered openings, the accumulation of material changes form and acquires a heavy undulation that pretends to be its organic matter.

    RECLINING POSITION/ANTIFA NATURE Public space is a battlefield of ideas, bodies, images, meanings and identities. As this framework is increasingly structured in a suffocating way, observation and intervention in cases of fascist references becomes the minimum gesture against the darkness of Nazism. In the abandoned building of Psiloritis, the signs of hatred – swastikas, nationalist…
