Eleni Papadimitriou is an architect and explores negotiations as a transformation tool for the (collective) production of architectures. She works with text, sound, images and installations.
A negotiation about the use of Maison Descartes as a temporary exhibition space for the graduation show of the Studio for Immediate Spaces. Contractual elements are displayed as a diagram, a text, and a USB flash drive. Each element is merged with the walls of the space and serves as legal documentation of the negotiation process, housing the contractual in the architecture of the space.
"Annex to the contract" explores how negotiations and agreements silently include stories of circumstance, coincidence, life-choices, rituals, scenography, attitude, and emotions. Here, the contract is extended to acknowledge affective, relational and performative elements culminating to treating a wall as more than an architectural element - as a depository, a public registry and a legal document.
Legal conversation partner: Dr Martin Heller.
