In January of 2007 i was asked to participate in a group show that took place in the Old Kipseli's Market, by curator Stella Andrioti. The market was about to be demolished for a shopping mall to replace it. Various art events were held at the time within it's premises as means of protest against the demolishion plan. The market was sustained by small equal sized cubical rooms that were traditionaly used by fishermen and butchers.
The room in which i exhibited used to be a fisherman's shop and its size was apprx. 3m x3m. Although one side of the room was open and it had no ceiling, it reminded me of a claustophobic domestic space. I set up an installation off ready-mades trying to create a suffocating domestic environment.
