- My work is a systematic research in progress on the transformations of specific socio-geographic environments, in areas in Greece, such as Faliron bay after the massive changes that followed the Olympic Games 2004 and Farkadona Military Camp hosting Repatriatriated Greek Community since 1992 or abroad (Venice, Paris, Berlin, Cyprus). This research can form a diary of personal and architectural self-knowledge (No.M.A.D., 2001-4) or of personal interaction with the "spirit of a site" (ongoing project Reveries du Promeneur Solitaire, 2009-) but mainly focuses, through collective projects or exhibitions, on exploring posibilities of the combination of art/architecture with social practices refering to questions of participation, auto-organisation, free knowledge, autonomous zones, aesthetics, collaboration, persona, media strategies, new ways of production and distributions of cultural products, and activism that cross into real-life social situations and institutions (Paradigmata, 2004 / PPC_T-Farkadona, 2004- / Microgeographies, 2011-).
