Marina Xenofontos: Things We Lost

Marina Xenofontos’ work employs film and sculpture to consider the inevitability of failure and the marginalization of personal narratives in civic spaces. By shaping interpretations and meanings, she explores interrelated facets of simulations, objects, and translations that allow for a remembrance of symbols and errors in their functions. With this approach, traditional methods and processes embrace the ephemeral individual position within broader collective memory. Marking the first solo presentation of Xenofontos’ work in Austria, Things We Lost, is a fragmented biography through the gaze of geography and memory.

Things We Lost was co-produced by the Deputy Ministry of Culture, Republic of Cyprus and supported by KUNSTVEREIN GARTENHAUS, Vienna and Mint, Stockholm.
