Teaser Studio is launching its programming with the first solo exhibition of the artist and photographer Konstantina Sidiropoulou, under the title “for when sand turns to glass”. The exhibition includes a series of personal archives, varying from photographs to words and sculptural gestures aiming to speak about preverbal states of attachment and along embodied conducts of being, of loving and belonging with one another. Through exposing and reflecting on her diaries, Sidiropoulou reenacts past versions of reality in order to shelter a holding of unconditional love, to locate resilience, to find alternative futures of falling in and out of love.

By using the words “to the moon and back” as a mantra, an axis and a metaphor to speak about the vexed and multifaceted schemes of love, Sidiropoulou creates a spatial narrative which subverts uncanny memories, turning them into acts of self-love. The transformative qualities of such a process are present in the actual media and materials exhibited in the space. Her images focus on the moon, ecliptic or full, multiplying yet concurrently grounding the notion of time, allowing us, audiences, to feel through its shrinking or expansion. Accordingly, her words induce us to the constantly alternating patterns that come with growth, in personal yet also in psychosocial states. Her gestures are both fragile and intense, speaking of the ungraspable which sometimes appears in the most tangible human gestures and natural phenomena.
