🫟☀️🌈Marina Tsironi is a performer and visual artist whose practice explores identity, female experience and trauma through a psychoanalytic lens. Working across performance, installation, and wearable objects, she investigates the body as a vessel of memory and a site where personal and social narratives unfold. 🍬During the final two years of her MFA, her research focused on how materialities can translate embodied experiences into kinetic narratives. Drawing from her personal archive and the public realm, she creates works where movement, memory, and matter converge—transforming space into a landscape of material traces and lived experience. 🍒✨👄🎭 @marina_tsironi @mfa_asfa #MFAASFA #AthensSchoolOfFineArts #MFA2024_26 #FinalYearStudents #athensartscene by @mfa_asfa

🪾🪵🍂🍁🪜Over the course of two years, Konstantinos Koinos allowed his hands to search for form within the material. Without a predetermined plan or knowing where each movement would lead, he wove, stitched, pulled, and joined natural fibres. Form did not exist in advance; it gradually emerged through repetition, tension, and the material’s resistance. 🛖The images present works, details, and moments from the making process throughout this two-year journey. Together, they form an archive of gestures and material transformations, in which weaving functions not simply as a technique, but as a way of thinking and creating form. Natural fibres are transformed into ambiguous sculptural forms that evoke bodies or skins without acquiring a fixed identity. Traces of gesture, memory, and the bodily process remain visible on their surfaces. GR. 🍂🪵🍁🪾🪜Στα δύο χρόνια της πορείας του ο Κωνσταντίνος Κοϊνός, άφησε τα χέρια του να αναζητούν τη μορφή μέσα στο υλικό. Χωρίς προκαθορισμένο σχέδιο και χωρίς να γνωρίζει από την αρχή πού θα οδηγήσει κάθε κίνηση, έπλεκε, έραβε, τραβούσε και ένωνε φυσικές ίνες. Η μορφή δεν προϋπήρχε· εμφανιζόταν σταδιακά μέσα από την επανάληψη, την ένταση και την αντίσταση του υλικού. 🛖 Οι εικόνες παρουσιάζουν έργα, λεπτομέρειες και στιγμές κατασκευής από αυτή τη διετή διαδρομή. Μαζί συγκροτούν ένα αρχείο χειρονομιών και υλικών μεταμορφώσεων, μέσα από το οποίο η πλέξη λειτουργεί όχι απλώς ως τεχνική, αλλά ως τρόπος σκέψης και συγκρότησης της μορφής. Οι φυσικές ίνες μετατρέπονται σε αμφίσημες γλυπτικές μορφές, οι οποίες παραπέμπουν σε σώματα ή δέρματα χωρίς να αποκτούν σταθερή ταυτότητα. Στην επιφάνειά τους παραμένουν ορατά τα ίχνη της χειρονομίας, της μνήμης και της σωματικής διαδικασίας. ✨🛖✨🪚🛠️ @kostaskoinos @mfa_asfa #MFAASFA #AthensSchoolOfFineArts #MFA2024_26 #FinalYearStudents #athensartscene by @mfa_asfa

☢️🔧🔩Over the past two years Anastasis Karras has developed a body of work that explores the shifting relationship between technology, human agency and nature. Through automated machines, sound, kinetic sculptures, and interactive installations, he investigates how malfunction, noise, and unpredictability can operate as expressive forces rather than technical defects. 🛠️🧨Working through the design and construction of machines, he treats repair and dismantling as a generative process. Mass-produced devices are disassembled, reconfigured, and transformed into autonomous systems that challenge their original purpose and reveal new forms of interaction. His practice recontextualizes everyday objects as conceptual instruments, questioning the boundaries between utility, symbolism, authorship, and control. 🧯📺☎️⚠️📟📡🔌 @anastasis_karras @mfa_asfa #MFAASFA #AthensSchoolOfFineArts #MFA2024_26 #FinalYearStudents #AthensArtScene taken in Athens School of Fine Arts by @mfa_asfa

🌀🪐🌑🌙 Over the past two years of her MFA studies, Stefania Moskovi has developed a body of work that explores fear in relation to cosmic events. Through painting, she brings together images of dying stars with personal emotional landscapes, tracing a connection between inner states and astronomical phenomena. ♾️⚛️The works presented here form part of an ongoing investigation into scale, vulnerability, and distance. Astrophysical events will continue to unfold beyond the limits of our lifetime, making human experience feel smaller, but also strangely suspended within something vast. ✨🌒🌓🌔🌕🌖🌗🌘✨ @moskovii @mfa_asfa #MFAASFA #AthensSchoolOfFineArts #MFA2024_26 #FinalYearStudents #AthensArtScene taken in Athens School of Fine Arts by @mfa_asfa

🌀✅Over the past two years of his MFA studies, Thodoris Saitis has developed a body of work that explores memory, language, materiality, and the fragility of silence . The works presented here reflect an ongoing artistic investigation into the relationships between image, archive, and lived experience. The following text offers the artist’s personal reflection on the ideas that inform this practice Eng. I grew up with the echo of a language fading away, with verses whispering to me: «Ούνα νάπτε κου λουνά αρίτσε, ίντραι του χουάρα αμιά...» (One cold moonlit night, I entered my village...) In these snapshots, I share with you some of my latest visual explorations—an attempt to transform failure, decay, and the loss of materiality, through cuts and folds, into a living archive. I find myself somewhere in between the familiar and the unfamiliar, where sound and memory lose their function and become pure sensation. I deliberately left the stories of this “other narrator” unfinished, inviting the viewer to slow their gaze. Gr. Μεγάλωσα με τον απόηχο μιας γλώσσας που σβήνει, με στίχους που μου ψιθυρίζουν: «Ούνα νάπτε κου λουνά αρίτσε, ίντραι του χουάρα αμιά...» (Μια νύχτα με κρύο φεγγάρι, μπήκα στο χωριό μου...) Σε αυτά τα στιγμιότυπα μοιράζομαι μαζί σας μερικές από τις τελευταίες μου οπτικές δοκιμές· μια προσπάθεια να μετατρέψω την αποτυχία, τη φθορά και την απώλεια της ύλης, μέσα από τομές και αναδιπλώσεις, σε ένα ζωντανό αρχείο. Βρίσκομαι κάπου εκεί, στο μεταίχμιο του γνώριμου και του ανοίκειου. Εκεί που ο ήχος και η μνήμη χάνουν τη λειτουργία τους και γίνονται καθαρή αίσθηση. Άφησα τις ιστορίες αυτού του «άλλου αφηγητή» σκόπιμα μισές, ζητώντας μια επιβράδυνση του βλέμματος. @saitis_thodoris @mfa_asfa #MFAASFA #AthensSchoolOfFineArts #MFA2024_26 #FinalYearStudents #AthensArtScene taken in Athens School of Fine Arts by @mfa_asfa

Ilias Doulis joins @mfa_asfa lias Doulis is a visual artist based in Athens, working across video, mixed media, painting and film. His films have been screened in festivals such as Moscow International Film Festival and Drama International Short Film Festival. He is currently pursuing an MFA at the Athens School of Fine Arts. His work explores the forms and mechanisms of power, relationships of oppression, consumerism, and the sterile, one-dimensional narrative through which contemporary mass culture interprets and defines the world, society, our personal relationships, and our very selves. Using shock and humour as tools, he attempts to deconstruct the simplistic, mechanistic, utilitarian logic of the contemporary way of life. A logic that leaves no room for daydreaming, purposeless play, dynamic relationships with the world and the creation of new worlds. by @mfa_asfa

Pauline Rouzet joins @mfa_asfa Pauline Rouzet is a french artist born in Marseille. She studied photography and video at the École Nationale Supérieure des Arts Décoratifs in Paris, where she developed a documentary -based practice, exploring how we narrate places and the collective stories they hold. After moving to Athens in 2024, her work has focused on national (and counter) narratives, informed by her experience as an editor and research assistant for Forensic Architecture Initiative Athens. She is currently working on her next movie, which would start from the fictional collapse of two buildings in the center of Athens. Her work has been presented at the Centre Pompidou and the Doc! in Paris. She has also been a jury member for the Cannes Film Festival and Cinéma du Réel. by @mfa_asfa

George Othonas joins @mfa_asfa George Othonas is a visual artist based in Athens, Greece. He studied at the School of fine arts, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, from 2018 to 2023 in the Direction of New Media in the Visual Arts and is currently enrolled in the M.F.A. program at the Athens School of Fine Arts. He has participated in multiple group shows in Greece and abroad. His artistic practice utilizes mixed media as a multi-faceted artistic medium, aiming to explore the interaction that the image brings between the artist creator and the viewer. His work focuses on the association of the image with public space, but also with the dimensions of time and memory, through the experience of living in an abandoned urban environment. His themes emerge from lived experiences and emphasize the approach of broader social groups, analyzing their forms of interaction and the ways in which they perceive state rules and mechanisms in their entirety, conservative or otherwise. by @mfa_asfa

David Politis joins @mfa_asfa David Politis is a graduate student at the University for the Creative Arts in Epsom, UK, within the Fashion Management & Marketing department. He works across photography, painting, and visual arts. Over the past years, his practice has evolved through continuous experimentation with image, material, and space. Painting introduced him to a more human and intuitive approach, allowing him to embrace imperfection as a central element of expression. Through a photographic perspective, he explores urban landscapes and portraits of existing and imagined environments and figures emerging from the subconscious. Installations play a vital role in his practice, where space becomes an active medium for emotion and experience. His work is driven by existential, philosophical, political, and subcultural themes, engaging with notions of power and control, repression, rebellion, and resistance to the dominant gaze. by @mfa_asfa
