Open Call: Square

/Performance/participatory action, 2017, in the context of Open form (curated and organised by Denise Araouzou), Syntagma Square, Athens, Greece

Eva Giannakopoulou returned to Syntagma Square, a sociopolitical landmark and microcosm of Athens that has served as an integral part of her artistic practice and research for years. Through her performance and engagement with regular visitors of the square, curious passerby, as well as an open call to anyone who wished to commonly formulate the action, she aimed to activate the intersections between the public, the political, the personal and the collective, whilst filming how these spheres are shifting within a square that is constantly changing.
