about MARIA papachristodoulou
maria (1995) grew up on a greek island. she is a performance artist, an architect and a tea addict based in athens. she is an MA student in Contemporary Physical Performance Making, tallinn estonia.currently, she focuses on paradoxical connections between diverse elements of human experience, mundane rituals and materials aiming to create absurd landscapes that feel both strange and deeply familiar. however, her main concern is that people delve into her worlds and derive a sense of connection from it.maria enjoys taking long walks with no headphones, to sketch and observe the textures, sounds and smells of the urban chaos, but her casual needs are a steaming cup of tea, soft sunlight and tender silence.
about MELPIGNANO arts residency
DIARY project
keeping track of my inner landscape.
no words, no voice memos
but little sketches.
sometimes in the morning with my first cup of tea.
sometimes during the night before i go to sleep.
at the backyard, in eldorado cafe, at the main square.
next to the sea
in silence.
in a soundscape of flatmates
or waves
taking as much time as
it needed to feel done.
trying to
be consistent
but inconcistence
is apparently
a part of it
