EMOTIONAL PROPERTY
Site-specific video installation
2023
The family-polykatoikia has been one of the models of reconstruction in Greece. Le Corbusier’s classic domino is divided into mothers, aunts and uncles, sisters and brothers. Each floor belongs to a relative. The emotional property will never be sold, either because it contains the past, or because it is located among other emotional properties, where the ‘foreigner’ does not belong. The house often remains empty for the few days of Christmas or Easter when the children return. Through two site-specific video projections on the rooftop of a family’s duplex (the third floor was never bulit) and on a plot of land that has been converted into a garden, emotional property describes instances of properties that remain immovable in time as the city is constantly transformed.
