3 Dinge (braucht der Mann)
Back to my life in Athens.
Tax office: you came here alone? eh? No man?
Police station: ha,ha! What are you doing in Greece without a hubby!?
Electricity provider: why can’t you bring your husband to do this for you?
Etc.
Series of analog collages, drawing and transferred ink on old Athens City Hall’s official paper
I. C.
II. O.
III. K.
IV. E.
420 x 600 mm. Berlin, 2019
Features:
Fundraiser 50 KünstlerInnen Exhibition (2019) - Galerie Irrgang, Berlin
Kunst unter fünfzig Exhibition (2019) - Das Gift, Berlin
Literature:
Women don’t owe you pretty - Florence Given
Like a woman - Quinn Latimer
Competing Constructions of Masculinity in Ancient Greece - Scott Rubarth
Greek news and newspapers
Combine this type of (far too recurrent) experiences with household magazines from the 60s and the result is this series of collages, depicting the frustration but also the theatricals and comically absurd sides of my life as a “wandering woman without a man” which apparently
is still perceived as being only "half a person"
by most people
*in most countries*.
