Alongside their participation in the Symbiotics exhibition, Phantom Investigations (Giannis Delagrammatikas and Ino Varvariti) present a performative lecture focusing on the work and lives of the artists Chryssa, Bia Davou, and Nausica Pastra – based on the ΕΜΣΤ Art Archive. Each Relation Belongs to Other Relations (2023) aspires to create a new archival pattern resulting from new collations and connections between the archive’s materials and engage with the works of the exhibition. Such a temporary, dynamic archival sequence serves as an intervention for critical reflection and dialectic transformations.
