Found Memories performance & sound installation is part of the research on manual labor and disappearing trades, focusing on bodily traces. At the heart of the work is the relationship between body and tool, repetition, and the silent rituals shaped by daily interaction with materials. By combining sound and image, the work aims to offer a performative tribute to the invisible choreography of manual labor, choreography performed daily in workshops, kitchens, fields, and garages. The research highlights the meditative aspect of repetition and invites the audience to reconnect with a rhythm of life that resists speed, productivity, and oblivion.

From the curatorial text by Eva Vaslamatzi: “In this choreography the machinery that emits sounds or images play an active part, and the artist’s body becomes the mediator for other narratives which reference family roots and farming work. Through other bodies, other voices and collectivities, Paraskevopoulou expresses an imagined way out, a multiple body of memory that communicates, lives on, creates or even escapes beyond personal time.”

Found Memories sound installation was part of the exhibition at Anargyrion and Korgialenion School of Spetses within the context of School of Transitions, Art Residency Spetses from 20/06 to 20/07, 2025.
