Metallic tree planting, revenge of the iron beam.

I decided to plant metallic trees with some iron beams i had taken from a demolished building, in this way i wanted to manifest the “revenge of the iron beams”.

I made a kind of performance – demonstration, by forcing visitors to interact with them and with me planting them.

      and we headed away from the metro into narrower streets when we took a turn around the corner to the old bus station. The area was a wreck. We took some photos with our phones, spoke about gentrification, lack of government funding for artists and exhibitions we had been to that week. Through the open…

      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…
