Objectively Absurd.
A Dialogue Between Two Artists

Two artists who both approach the concept of futility as a critically ironic manifestation of the contemporary state of human condition. Their approach varies significantly in meaning and form, in line with their overall practice ideologies, creating a dynamic interplay of contradicting yet often witty juxtapositions as works construct a dialogue.

Yolanda’s futility is internal, sensitive, body oriented and melancholically romantic.

Pano’s futility is external, harsh, darkly ironic, addressing an almost nihilistic philosophical critique.

Deeply grateful to Maria for her openness, kindness, and trust in donating her hair to Primal Thread.

What began as a simple encounter became a beautiful shared experience. Watching her offer something so personal with such warmth and sincerity was incredibly moving. As an artist herself, she immediately understood the spirit of the work, and hearing her say it was an honor to become part of the piece was deeply humbling.

Thank you for your sensitivity and for the beautiful person you are, inside and out.

And thank you to Konstantina for being part of this moment with such care and warmth.

This work continues to grow through the trust, openness, and participation of women willing to become part of it.

Artist Statement: « This piece emerges from a repetitive, embodied gesture: the act of spinning human hair. An intimate and deeply personal material, the hair used in the work has been donated by women within my circle, grounding it in a relation of trust, permission, and exchange. It carries traces of presence, memory, and lived experience. Hair holds time in a quiet way, shaped by daily life, touch, and care, and the ongoing process of growth and renewal.
Through rotation, strands are gathered, twisted, and held under tension, a repetitive gesture carried out by hand. Through spinning, something soft and dispersed is drawn into a thread. As hair is worked in this way, it moves from an individual trace into a line that gathers what was separate, gaining strength through connection.
Each spindle holds this accumulation of gesture and time. Together, they form a field where each element remains distinct, yet exists alongside the others. What appears singular becomes multiple; what is private becomes communal. The installation creates a space shaped by rhythm, proximity, and quiet intensity.
The gesture remains visible in each piece, continuing through the work as it unfolds in relation to one another. »
