Από την Κυριακή Γονή λάβαμε την παρακάτω ενημέρωση για το έργο “τα χέρια μας”

Dear Friends,

I hope this email finds you doing well.

Τα Χέρια μας/Our Hands is a smaller project I have been working on recently, continuing my long research on the interaction between technology and society. The project is inspired by the current touch deprivation, due to the pandemic and the consequent highly digitally mediated everyday life.

In 2020, due to Covid19, we are forced to refrain from any social intimacy, from handshakes to hugs. Touch, an essential navigation tool in our daily lives, has been limited to what is necessary. Yet, this ban in the physical world meets with its exact opposite in the digital world. Using these very hands, we navigate the digital realm via our devices to maintain our personal and professional lives up to an extent.

This series of 24 new unique works, dedicated to each hour of the solar day on Earth, brings together various human hand representations updated and informed by the highly digital mediated present.

Our Hands/ Τα Χέρια μας, 2020

I wish you a healthy 2021, where we can hug each other again!
