Artwork Description

This is not an Orange, 2022

0.0 x 0.0 cm

Artist book and audiovisual performance inspired by Yoko Ono’s work “Grapefruit. At the heart of this performance ( \_W*o*я*d*S_/ vol.1: Grapefruits, LALA, Athens) a projection of a new version of Ono’s Grapefruit, created from a digital reading where mistakes reshape the original text. A computer-generated voice delivers these altered instructions through speakers, and I respond in real time on a large sheet of paper covering the wall. The blank surface gradually fills with words, marks, and drawings as I try to keep up with the pace of the recording. What emerges is unpredictable—a living book shaped by chance, gesture, and rhythm. At the end, I take the paper down and fold it into an artist book. The audience becomes part of the process, invited to cut, hold, or share fragments, influencing its final form. The completed book remains as an interactive installation, carrying traces of both my actions and their participation.
