The work is based on the panopticon model as analyzed by Michel Foucault, who compares modern society to a prison without bars, where everyone watches each other, resulting in the enforcement of power through self-discipline.
The work is an interactive installation in which old dolls observe and monitor the viewer as they move within their field of vision, making a statement about both the panopticon and the use of technology as a tool of power enforcement.
In this way, the visitor and observer become the observed by the artwork itself, prompting reflection on the direction of technology in relation to privacy, freedom of expression, and free will—each of which is influenced by the pervasive sense of surveillance, which is reciprocal.
Born in 1989 in Berlin, he studied at the School of Fine Arts in Florina and graduated from the 2nd Painting Studio in 2015. Since then, he has maintained a painting studio in Thessaloniki and has been active in the artistic field. His work is influenced both by the street art and graffiti scene, in which he has been involved since 2006, as well as by modernist movements and painting concepts. The core of his work includes abstract fields, hand-painted mannequin dolls, series of calligraphy and lettering, as well as a more pop-oriented aesthetic, combining Japanese references with graffiti elements. Since his student years, he has participated in group exhibitions. His solo exhibition at "Choros 18," titled Ecce Homo, featured mixed media works, combining painting techniques with graffiti materials (spray and ink) on canvas, as well as large-scale drawings. His engagement with electronic music and technology led him to pursue a Master's degree in Art and Technology at the Ionian University’s Department of Audio and Visual Arts for the academic year 2024-2025, where he has now begun his studies.
