Marni 25, Athens

Soft Things
Blossoms Blossoming

What bodies want to do
Tell It To The Island

Hey, Botanic Stranger!

Something like a poem, a nude, and flowers in a vase
Feeling that way
Work, work, work, not
Falling into whispers and kisses 
Reclining Artist, the Artist is Reclining 
Making a film in solitude and in conversation with others (video)
The Importance of Reading, Writing, and Exfoliating
Look for love and find a log instead (publication)
May I introduce my friend

He came, he didn’t stay
A book, a film, and a soundtrack
She was whistling, he was shooting
Economy Class
Crack, Crack, Pop, Pop…Oh what a relief it is!
Now you see me, oh now you don’t! 
My crap is Bigger than yours!

HEY, BOTANIC STRANGER!
Società delle Api’s residency, Grasse
2023

Created during a residency at Società delle Api Grasse, this series of botanical drawings focuses on wildflowers and weeds growing within a carefully maintained garden.

By foregrounding what is often overlooked or removed, the works consider maintenance and resistance, cultivation and autonomy. The botanical motif becomes a metaphor for minor subjectivities—forms of life that persist quietly within systems of control.
