Myrto Vratsanou, b.1994, Athens, Greece. Her spacial, moving image and performative practice revolves around fiction and the haunted and sensual aspects of technology, digital and material spaces. She has been involved in various collective projects and alternative forms of art education.
Myrto Vratsanou’s (Athens, Greece, 1994) presentation reflects on hoarding and haunting, memory, digital and physical accumulation, being out-of-joint and the oceanic feeling. The objects are drawing from free-diving traditions, exploring the relation between body, water, air, pressure, weight and object. Besides his video works A Hike and A Drive, Vratsanou is showing The Two Lapses, two small objects that are attached to the wall. The use of clay, natural pigment and copper make them reminiscent of fossils that have been put in a special container for display. On the one hand, this makes them look like valuable, special objects. On the other, their rough appearance allows them to enter into a dialogue with the damaged, rough walls of the exhibition space. Vratsanou reflects on this never ending search for cause and effect where one thing becomes another over and over again.
