In the video installation „Guards For Sexed
Bodies_Language Curves Space“ Vassiliea Stylianidou makes use of such
diverse materials as language, her voice, plasticine, light and
ritualistic movements. The
artist explores the phenomena of power and money in the context of the present
economic and social crisis and contrasts them to the dynamics inherent in
language as the
social subject's practice which is experimental, gendered and
transgessive.
In Stylianidou´s work, language pierces and subverts its
everyday use in an attempt to suggest new paradigms for knowledge and
experience. The installation work „Guards For Sexed
Bodies_Language Curves Space“ integrates video images into
architectural models and posits a relationship between this architectural
construct and the viewer. The work also explores the interconnections between, on
the one hand, the language and, on the other, the voice, the body and the image
as rhythm and materiality.
Installation view: Alex Mylona Museum, Athens.
