DRAWERS
This project aimed for the PlatformProject@Art-Athina 2013 consists of a network formed by a cluster of drawers. 33 artists coexisting, each one of them transforming a personal drawer into a place of social discussion, contradiction or a meeting point. The drawers interact with each other, while establishing at the same time a standalone and integrated, yet polyphonic event. The viewer selects his/her personal view of the work, opening and closing the drawers, thus interfering with the construction and constantly defining its final form.
​
Vivi Perysinaki in her own drawer travels us through three generations’ personal and family memorabilia all the way to the latest history of Greece and its transformation from a rural to an urban society. Through her grandmother’s sewing kit, her parents’ photos as children, her own christening clothes and her childish fears in the form of a black hand making its way to the surface, the crocheted phrase “I am” emerges, as a statement of identity and a need to embrace the present.
