Aggeliki Simeonidi & Stefanos Kyritsopoulos

Collaborative Statement

The collaboration between Angeliki Symeonidi and Stefanos Kyritsopoulos brings together two distinct yet related practices rooted in the urban environment. Symeonidi focuses on subtle surface transformations, revealing a microcosm of traces, cracks, and material shifts, while Kyritsopoulos works with structural materials such as concrete and iron, exploring tensions between weight and fragility, form and memory.

Their joint work emerges through this convergence, engaging with decay, trace, and the memory embedded in materials. Concrete enters into dialogue with gold, creating a tension between the everyday and the precious, the industrial and the symbolic.

Rather than seeking uniformity, their collaboration creates an in-between space where material, image, and process coexist. Here, memory is not narrated but activated through the viewer’s encounter with the work.
