Memory Fold
Memory Fold is a site-responsive series of artworks unfolding within the husks of abandoned buildings, spaces where the notion of home has eroded, shifted, or vanished entirely. These works engage with absence, with what remains after dwelling has ceased. In this context, the fold becomes more than a formal gesture: it is a method of remembering through material, a crease that holds the residue of presence.
Here, home is not a structure, but a fragile construct of memory. It is where intimacy meets erosion, where traces of domesticity linger in dust, shadow, and broken thresholds. The artworks do not reconstruct what once was. Instead, they fold the emotional architecture of home into the building’s decay, revealing how memory shelters itself in corners, objects, and gestures long after the inhabitants are gone.
These works act like memory folds: temporal wrinkles, material gestures that compress time
and feeling into form. Each artwork draws from the surrounding architecture, collaborating with broken floors, exposed beams, and weathered textures to animate the forgotten.
Memory Code
Please allow a moment for the code to initialize.
The Memory Code is a browser-based visual loop that makes the act of forgetting tangible through the slow erosion and reformation of an image. A photograph of an abandoned family house gradually decays, not uniformly, but in shifting zones that flicker between clarity, distortion, and complete loss.
Inspired by the concept of race conditions in digital memory, unstable states where data becomes unpredictable, the work simulates three phases: ‘intact’, ‘recoverable’, and ‘lost’. These zones evolve independently, creating an ever-changing field of remembering and forgetting. Some areas vanish completely, while others reemerge, as if drawn from a fragile archive.
Rather than disappearing, the image becomes something else: fragmented, abstract, haunted. The Memory Code invites viewers to witness forgetting not as a moment, but as an ongoing, unstable process, echoing both the fragility of digital storage and the unreliability of human memory.
Echoes of Emptiness
Echoes of Emptiness is an augmented reality experience for the Heriscope project by Communitism.
It transforms abandoned spaces into interactive, hybrid environments using augmented reality (AR) sculptures. By placing posters with QR codes at selected sites, visitors can unlock and interact with digital objects, reimagining these forgotten spaces as dynamic centers for community engagement and speculative futures. This web-based AR experience fosters creative exploration, dialogue, and social transformation, turning neglected urban areas into platforms for collective imagination and cultural revitalization.
Super Sport
https://supersport.projektraum.org
Super Sport was born from a group roaming Athens in search of unfamiliar, abandoned spaces where artists could freely respond—without curatorial direction, entrance fees, or artist statements required. Its name playfully references an old, disused sports-equipment factory in Elaionas, challenging conventional expectations of how contemporary artists “should” work. Bringing together creators from graffiti, installation, painting, music, sculpture, and performance, it fosters collaborations, in-situ exhibits, and workshops that spotlight artists’ resilience amid economic uncertainty.
