I want to witness and reconstruct an image of the city, not only of my own memories but of a collective memory that ultimately shapes it. The ‘’Arch of Galerius’’ widely known as ‘’Kamara’’ is the central point and one of the most important Roman monuments of the city. Even after 1700 years, it remains a symbol and part of daily life. It is used as a meeting point, a place of political and cultural gatherings, a touristic attraction, a drug trafficking area and as ‘’playground’’ for bag-snatchers and lovers alike. I ask one simple question: What is the first image that comes to mind when you think of Thessaloniki? The answers vary and reveal the respondents' relations to the city. The hypothesis that ''Kamara'', the Roman triumphal monument, will prevail as an answer is confirmed and therefore takes the lead in each composition. However, all answers are included in each artwork for the creation of a new historicity. Each piece is unique and has been made during the 5 years I lived in Thessaloniki. All documents and videos are from my personal archive. <img src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/3570220ed60e18b7f4f835205c4ccaf995825359b85d33a31f7fbe0750a234f4/DSC_0051.png" alt="Thessaloniki report — artwork 1" loading="lazy"> <img src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/8dcd3c1c027c63a3093e13c1a9339be97887b8117beb937aa51e52aceeb6d8dc/IMG_20210317_201737.jpg" alt="Thessaloniki report — artwork 2" loading="lazy"> <img src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/f5b861c9115d7e9bccd02bce504548088e38547ce373883be506aa9802b0bcb9/20220911231004_00156.png" alt="Thessaloniki report — artwork 3" loading="lazy"> <img src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/3d0ed59b5f85b67cd0754fb700dd36fd25657ac7a509e51ba65791d63b939c67/20220911231004_00046.png" alt="Thessaloniki report — artwork 4" loading="lazy"> <img src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/5f3d7d3199c7f791e74eaaefc10d9e14dc64d1f91cccc7505c02c82ec7d00338/IMG_20210302_183159.jpg" alt="Thessaloniki report — artwork 5" loading="lazy"> <img src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/d6b67989d1e2c760709ae267f8d3830925e3c6122df9050b9b70e099b361c885/IMG_20210411_193710.jpg" alt="Thessaloniki report — artwork 6" loading="lazy"> <img src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/c0c98bece59ee48ab983a04ea09fd25455b4e182bd228884081cf79bc8f1295c/20220911231004_00180.png" alt="Thessaloniki report — artwork 7" loading="lazy"> <img src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/8a1d25cb98d4461580f7b7b3a01f863a4cd977c31cd5b3cba6bcd28c694ba743/20220911231004_00079.png" alt="Thessaloniki report — artwork 8" loading="lazy"> <img src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/9fcfb8795bca58110cad447506f7953ee98c8e0e9bf7d72b8340d81935c4eb62/IMG_20210301_161007.jpg" alt="Thessaloniki report — artwork 9" loading="lazy"> <img src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/e9bb485777a9966ec286de6014f0031809d0663e2dcdecd659af4f6995b162ca/IMG_20210317_201112.jpg" alt="Thessaloniki report — artwork 10" loading="lazy"> <img src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/77dad7a321db18c9b8a16ee43fbd75c62ae337a97383f44526ceea4e2d24e43d/1.gif" alt="Thessaloniki report — animated image" loading="lazy">`; } function showThess() { selectedUrl = null; stopMotion(); preview.querySelectorAll('.mataroa-direct-preview').forEach(panel => { panel.style.display = 'none'; }); hideFrames(); imgBox.replaceChildren(); imgBox.style.display = 'none'; caption.textContent = ''; buildThess(); thessPanel.style.display = 'block'; thessPanel.scrollTop = 0; if (!reducedMotion.matches) { scrollTimer = setInterval(() => { const max = thessPanel.scrollHeight - thessPanel.clientHeight; if (thessPanel.scrollTop >= max - 1) { clearInterval(scrollTimer); scrollTimer = null; return; } thessPanel.scrollBy(0, 1); }, 33); } } // Shedding Yesterday’s Limbs: direct preview in Digital Works. const sheddingPanel = document.createElement('div'); sheddingPanel.className = 'mataroa-direct-preview shedding-preview'; sheddingPanel.style.display = 'none'; preview.insertBefore(sheddingPanel, caption); let sheddingBuilt = false; function buildShedding() { if (sheddingBuilt) return; sheddingBuilt = true; sheddingPanel.innerHTML = ` Shedding Yesterday’s Limbs A film by Leandros and Ilias <img src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/d79fa286d6a2d33b0422e6dba4506477a81c79d3620afe47e6abdd297d23b06c/MAIN_2.gif" alt="Shedding Yesterday’s Limbs — image 1" loading="lazy"> In which chamber of our mind are our thoughts hatched?

The urge to return to traditional means of sculpture emerged on this so-called "Marble Island," and I managed to find a small workshop simply by asking the locals. As an ode to Maria Callas’ centenary, I carved an ear on a marble plate on the island. The transportation and finishing of the piece took place in Neochori Ithomi, Greece, where she was born. "Maria Callas’ Ear" is a submission for the new museum they are planning to establish to honor the diva. My work captures the essence of music and acoustic perception. This sculpture challenges the enduring nature of art and questions our tendencies to align with conventional narratives. It's an ode to those who break societal norms. <img src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/ea10bfafcd3043d9bc2e7da1faa2703446933da5fb486e24e07839d2ff55b098/PXL_20230813_094029049.MP.png" alt="Maria Callas’ Ear — image 11" loading="lazy"><img src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/2f88c3a10f5461aacdd334dacbc09f4ecb8e4062642eca605eb5b85d39a6482d/PXL_20230820_094504738.png" alt="Maria Callas’ Ear — image 7" loading="lazy"><img src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/0164682e13e0d6c7053a0c53818a35a2cbee038f30bc2cb4895fd0cbe4ead8b4/PXL_20230820_094454449.png" alt="Maria Callas’ Ear — image 4" loading="lazy"><img src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/d838b74d09b08fa1fdb7be8396ad94d2852daf4cdec1b861c8fb342bfd72ff7f/PXL_20230820_1050449222.png" alt="Maria Callas’ Ear — image 8" loading="lazy"><img src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/c2fe85f10ea7931be68159606b73c91b8cd656b64318bf415c8d227d3cc9b385/PXL_20230826_134416533.png" alt="Maria Callas’ Ear — image 9" loading="lazy"><img src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/07f39334d134d6b1884ee512311162edf5aca49c1fb2fc1692fe97f4314e84d0/PXL_20230826_185124451.png" alt="Maria Callas’ Ear — image 12" loading="lazy"><img src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/baea56ecb629c832ee692358c0cf78c35da82563528ab13887138b3508d5a162/PXL_20230825_204524686.png" alt="Maria Callas’ Ear — image 3" loading="lazy"><img src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/3346b930f0bf567e73ae69b04f4be88bed14a848bcc3ee6de36eaccca366565e/PXL_20230827_124756952.png" alt="Maria Callas’ Ear — image 10" loading="lazy">`; } function showMaria() { selectedUrl = null; stopMotion(); preview.querySelectorAll('.mataroa-direct-preview').forEach(panel => { panel.style.display = 'none'; }); hideFrames(); imgBox.replaceChildren(); imgBox.style.display = 'none'; caption.textContent = ''; buildMaria(); mariaPanel.style.display = 'block'; mariaPanel.scrollTop = 0; if (!reducedMotion.matches) { scrollTimer = setInterval(() => { const max = mariaPanel.scrollHeight - mariaPanel.clientHeight; if (mariaPanel.scrollTop >= max - 1) { clearInterval(scrollTimer); scrollTimer = null; return; } mariaPanel.scrollBy(0, 1); }, 33); } } // The Empire's New Invisible Wardrobe: direct preview. const empirePanel = document.createElement('div'); empirePanel.className = 'mataroa-direct-preview empire-preview'; empirePanel.style.display = 'none'; preview.insertBefore(empirePanel, caption); let empireBuilt = false; function buildEmpire() { if (empireBuilt) return; empireBuilt = true; empirePanel.innerHTML = ` The Empire's New Invisible Wardrobe -A continuation of Andersen's Famous tale <img src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/0e083e20eb423f1f10d5a69d4ef722de6008d0185d25c847a753053514acd11d/PXL_20250818_0032532294.png" alt="The Empire’s New Invisible Wardrobe — image 6" loading="lazy"> Following the day when the Emperor marched in his “new clothes,” he felt deep shame.

At the Emperor’s command, the tailor spun threads not of silk...but of glass! Like chains, the glass clothes were heavy, yet they also sparkled in the sunlight. Every time the immigrants walked, the glitter caught the eyes of all who stared. Sneering people tried to laugh, but the shine became like mirrors, reflecting their cruelty. Then the laughers went blind, for the glass turned their mockery back upon them. In this way, the “Invisibles” were hidden by the state but shone with hidden power. Now the Emperor’s plan had failed, for what was meant as shame became strength. Every child who hears this continuation knows: the tale of the Emperor never truly ends.

According to the academic Alison Lanchberg, who defines prosthetic memory in her dissertation ‘’ Prosthetic memory: the ethics and politics of memory in an age of mass culture’’ , the term refers to the memories of others, which we take on like prosthetic limbs. To make another's memory our own, we must go beyond the simple hearing of it, in a story we need a sensory experience. With this way, Lanchberg supports that empathy and solidarity can be built between people. During this workshop, our team approached this idea through a collective artistic endeavour and co-creation, which focused on the concept of a souvenir, and how it works as a means of reflection on a personal or collective memory. re:souvenir, Invitation for an urban walk: Stand outside Wait there till you see a cat go by.

These are the behavioural features of Musca Domestica, commonly known as a housefly. These pests enjoy eating and drinking, as if belonging to the bourgeoisie of each season. As a result, faecal matter is created almost continuously, reflecting the natural absorption of the modern, sleepless, endless world of production and consumption. Houseflies might be the most commonly encountered insect in our world, and are largely associated with humans, as they accompany them around the globe, being the cause of numerous deaths (they have been used as a component in Yagi bombs during WWII, being great carriers of harmful pathogenic micro-organisms, etc). I took over the space in the kitchen of the School of Fine and Applied Arts in Aristotle University to place these cohabitants in their place of action. I used the remains of a daily routine in my attempt to render them unapproachable and suffocating for the human being, while also using them as a reminder of the fluidity concerning the vicious cycle we call hunter and prey. Houseflies’ repulsiveness and passion for human waste are a reflection of those unconsciously rejected by the memorandum. We are what we shit.

Based on Heideggerian philosophy, it is not used for anything but contemplation, which is the means of approaching freedom (Heidegger, p.102)1. Every statement in its language remains eternal. In materials such as stone or marble, where matter is removed, error does not allow a return to the original position. Here there are no Ctrl+Z’s as there are in digital designer rooms. The error remains apparent - honest and open to face-to-face confrontation. But not always; in many cases it can be amplified. However, it remains. A surgeon cuts and penetrates the body with his instruments. He dramatically reduces the distance and interacts with the material substance. I attempt, with my attention focused on the human vehicle, to locate, x-ray and then map elements that operate and play out, in the distant, borderline obscure scene of the human intellect. [...]Over time, I become aware of, and observe, an indefinable bodily structure, similar to my own. Unformalised internal dialogues and agreements are stored as destinations without me identifying their exact location and the moment of their conception.

The artist, akin to a Kafkaesque protagonist, strives to maintain focus within the confines of his &quot;Raum&quot; (room). Outside, running parallel to the sanctioned realms of mass consumption shaped by formidable entities, we construct an analog collage by navigating the intricate patterns of social media. In a landscape where everyone has a stake in art, yet the powerful dominate its expression and promotion to influential spheres, we turn into metaphorical cockroaches. This transformation extends even to those within our immediate circles. In the realm of contemplation and exploration, we navigate a Berlin-esque terrain—hovering between treasures and detritus. The point is, as with any insect, to remain hidden but be able to enter every house and disturb, as Socrates once said, the resting - bored horse like horse breeders do. In his work, Leandros creates a kind-of-map that navigates his experience as an immigrant in Berlin. A seemingly chaotic collage that includes different aspects of life with pieces that the artist started collecting from the very first day he arrived in Germany is presented. The outcome is a personal yet universally relatable exploration that comments on issues like overexposure to information, politics as a part of our identity, AI, mainstream ‘sellable’ art, and all that through the prism of the artist. Makes us wonder, what is art after all, and what is the role of the artist in it?

These are characteristics found in the behaviour of the common fly; an insect that disturbs and provokes movement. The concept for the first work of the series was conceived in 2016 when I first used the fly as a symbol. At that time, I intervened in the kitchen of the School of Fine Arts of Thessaloniki, disrupting its function by introducing magnetic, moving flies into the space. Since then, the fly has followed my work. I want the art I create to disturb and provoke thought and reflection. The fly is used as a pointer in my work to point out crucial issues. In this installation, we observe a readymade car wreck being flattened by a marble fly. A reversal of the crushing of the fly by the massive vehicle. In times of war, attention is necessary, as is movement. Despite the severity of the conditions, the message remains bright and disturbing for the viewer. ${[2,8,5,12,7,10,11,18,1,9].map(id => ``).join('')} Marble, metal, neon, scrapped car, cables, wood, digital print, soundVariable dimensions`;

in his Apology, he likened the role of the intellectual to that of a gadfly (horsefly) that stings the strong and proud horse, the Athenians, for sometimes they become sluggish.

These are characteristics found in the behaviour of the common fly; an insect that disturbs and provokes movement. The concept for the first work of the series was conceived in 2016 when I first used the fly as a symbol. At that time, I intervened in the kitchen of the School of Fine Arts of Thessaloniki, disrupting its function by introducing magnetic, moving flies into the space. Since then, the fly has followed my work. I want the art I create to disturb and provoke thought and reflection. The fly is used as a pointer in my work to point out crucial issues. In this installation, we observe a readymade car wreck being flattened by a marble fly. A reversal of the crushing of the fly by the massive vehicle. In times of war, attention is necessary, as is movement. Despite the severity of the conditions, the message remains bright and disturbing for the viewer. <img width="1848" height="2464" width_o="1848" height_o="2464" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/b8689c50509629f1e69a70d807c587766a7f900290b7669a78edf944bb3b1f8b/20250517_131552.png" data-mid="254166558" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/b8689c50509629f1e69a70d807c587766a7f900290b7669a78edf944bb3b1f8b/20250517_131552.png" /> <img width="2215" height="2954" width_o="2215" height_o="2954" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/e8e044c3cf5326228f67c7996df6d6e0e54a19c78cacdc3bbdec03a5ab040945/PXL_20250515_160123809.png" data-mid="254166562" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/e8e044c3cf5326228f67c7996df6d6e0e54a19c78cacdc3bbdec03a5ab040945/PXL_20250515_160123809.png" /> <img width="2214" height="2952" width_o="2214" height_o="2952" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/60d76b73086c68e60f36a6f3f343a14ddc071df46cec80fe2a1e1e728c9311ad/GOPR1047.png" data-mid="254166560" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/60d76b73086c68e60f36a6f3f343a14ddc071df46cec80fe2a1e1e728c9311ad/GOPR1047.png" /> <img width="2268" height="3024" width_o="2268" height_o="3024" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/666987809750ecf891cbfbb06c70bd61e0a6767820c85056cce03c23ca84df5c/PXL_20250517_130914160.png" data-mid="254166566" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/666987809750ecf891cbfbb06c70bd61e0a6767820c85056cce03c23ca84df5c/PXL_20250517_130914160.png" /> <img width="1972" height="2630" width_o="1972" height_o="2630" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/6a81e32627eb592bc707b1bac81ac409cbafea336a2c41c6f8bbc3ede59e8e43/PXL_20250515_113307618.png" data-mid="254166561" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/6a81e32627eb592bc707b1bac81ac409cbafea336a2c41c6f8bbc3ede59e8e43/PXL_20250515_113307618.png" /> <img width="4032" height="2268" width_o="4032" height_o="2268" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/330098a898e5319ab0876262096a8e9286e797deaa83789e177d79f442f96ef8/PXL_20250515_161332670.MP.png" data-mid="254166564" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/330098a898e5319ab0876262096a8e9286e797deaa83789e177d79f442f96ef8/PXL_20250515_161332670.MP.png" /> <img width="4032" height="2268" width_o="4032" height_o="2268" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/4f73c9fed5f61a62ae6e3934ed7910ea3e2499cd94f05945184ca08732d543ba/PXL_20250515_162842632.png" data-mid="254166565" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/4f73c9fed5f61a62ae6e3934ed7910ea3e2499cd94f05945184ca08732d543ba/PXL_20250515_162842632.png" /> <img width="4032" height="2271" width_o="4032" height_o="2271" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/9b19e827d1f8b2239b2d978667f68fc2201183c7802b205d3b9520b7fa903139/stamp-20250517_162421.png" data-mid="254166568" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/9b19e827d1f8b2239b2d978667f68fc2201183c7802b205d3b9520b7fa903139/stamp-20250517_162421.png" /> <img width="3360" height="1890" width_o="3360" height_o="1890" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/9ce9325f7de3e9bb5cc4add7d01350e738d090385f82d908aad9177ad57ea59c/20250515_213103.png" data-mid="254166557" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/9ce9325f7de3e9bb5cc4add7d01350e738d090385f82d908aad9177ad57ea59c/20250515_213103.png" /> <img width="4032" height="2268" width_o="4032" height_o="2268" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/931ba3209fd056bc607362a084be7b928edd04c1ab16acd5b7a13573ae672565/PXL_20250515_161323512.MP.png" data-mid="254166563" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/931ba3209fd056bc607362a084be7b928edd04c1ab16acd5b7a13573ae672565/PXL_20250515_161323512.MP.png" /> Marble, metal, neon, scrapped car, cables, wood, digital print, sound |&nbsp; Variable dimensions https://leandrosmarios.com/Prometheus-Desmotes Mon, 09 Nov 2026 21:18:52 +0000 Marios Leandros Basteas https://leandrosmarios.com/Prometheus-Desmotes Prometheus Desmotes A work condemned for paganism and a broken contract, driven by the personal ambitions of the "gods."&nbsp; <img width="2592" height="3872" width_o="2592" height_o="3872" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/1c018d683be6d6daaa9826edad53213e1c474144d694e26dfe0d77df8be0369c/IMG_20250921_172251_693.jpg" data-mid="254166576" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/1c018d683be6d6daaa9826edad53213e1c474144d694e26dfe0d77df8be0369c/IMG_20250921_172251_693.jpg" /> What began as a study of beauty evolved into a deeper connection with the island’s raw energy. Volcanic rocks, once forged by fire, were collected and transformed into sculptures with the help of Socotris especially children whose curiosity and spirit fed the growing flame. Two works were meant for Socotra University, but before their placement, power intervened. A self-serving figure accused the sculptures of paganism, burying them under lies and broken deals. The works were for Socotra, to keep its flame alive. But their fate mirrors a larger truth: how power treats art, and worse, how it treats places like Socotra, forgotten yet burning. <img width="2592" height="3240" width_o="2592" height_o="3240" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/806f31983db1a7e9d27427731bd8f6ed740db897353184ed31e681220b15bb11/DSC_0543.png" data-mid="254166573" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/806f31983db1a7e9d27427731bd8f6ed740db897353184ed31e681220b15bb11/DSC_0543.png" /> <img width="2137" height="2671" width_o="2137" height_o="2671" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/73fe7f205a1e73406c7ee73081af105e360dc5b33e683d6a26475cf320f105c3/GOPR0558.png" data-mid="254166570" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/73fe7f205a1e73406c7ee73081af105e360dc5b33e683d6a26475cf320f105c3/GOPR0558.png" /> <img width="2592" height="3872" width_o="2592" height_o="3872" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/3d331cf194945ef3e222382f12bbcbc081449856c99462e9423e999cc3f78148/IMG_20250926_154456_8572.png" data-mid="254166577" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/3d331cf194945ef3e222382f12bbcbc081449856c99462e9423e999cc3f78148/IMG_20250926_154456_8572.png" /> <img width="2592" height="3872" width_o="2592" height_o="3872" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/dab5bd1ed317015809279ab35fba98dd090da5a05c19c3881ec40fbe05777a4d/DSC_0550.png" data-mid="254166574" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/dab5bd1ed317015809279ab35fba98dd090da5a05c19c3881ec40fbe05777a4d/DSC_0550.png" /> <img width="5568" height="4872" width_o="5568" height_o="4872" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/2ea085b01905f2376d6527fa2341eb4f4b3b515b31bcab25fb04616474a76ae6/GOPR0565.JPG" data-mid="254166575" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/2ea085b01905f2376d6527fa2341eb4f4b3b515b31bcab25fb04616474a76ae6/GOPR0565.JPG" /> <img width="2592" height="3240" width_o="2592" height_o="3240" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/63cc52a296db8636b31f8e7bde91c73c0b28c8677bc1f3f89f3c2877282a88da/DSC_0542.png" data-mid="254166572" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/63cc52a296db8636b31f8e7bde91c73c0b28c8677bc1f3f89f3c2877282a88da/DSC_0542.png" /> https://leandrosmarios.com/Kinesis-Repetitive-Marches Mon, 09 Nov 2026 21:18:53 +0000 Marios Leandros Basteas https://leandrosmarios.com/Kinesis-Repetitive-Marches Kinesis: Repetitive Marches <img width="6480" height="566" width_o="6480" height_o="566" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/ec26c1e19e0baea4b7bba64754e074063fd0c6c5d85386377022d8f8eedd17de/Untitled-design.png" data-mid="254166578" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/ec26c1e19e0baea4b7bba64754e074063fd0c6c5d85386377022d8f8eedd17de/Untitled-design.png" /> It’s been a while since I was invited to the @secondchance.dafni exhibition by @drkantartzis.

Flies that invade every corner, devastating space. Sneaking in, they irritate the audience, triggering movement even from the most indifferent. The more I learn about them, the more I’m inspired by their diversity and unique biological traits. Mimicking their habits, I transformed the room at Dafni Psychiatric Hospital into a space of correlations. Here, balance, size, and visual stimuli are disrupted. Found objects from former inmates were reassembled to provoke discussion on the side effects of psychotropics and the nature of mental illness. A crack in the sphere of reality.

The urge to return to traditional means of sculpture emerged on this so-called "Marble Island," and I managed to find a small workshop simply by asking the locals. As an ode to Maria Callas’ centenary, I carved an ear on a marble plate on the island. The transportation and finishing of the piece took place in Neochori Ithomi, Greece, where she was born. "Maria Callas’ Ear" is a submission for the new museum they are planning to establish to honor the diva. My work captures the essence of music and acoustic perception. This sculpture challenges the enduring nature of art and questions our tendencies to align with conventional narratives. It's an ode to those who break societal norms. <img width="1706" height="3032" width_o="1706" height_o="3032" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/ea10bfafcd3043d9bc2e7da1faa2703446933da5fb486e24e07839d2ff55b098/PXL_20230813_094029049.MP.png" data-mid="254166600" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/ea10bfafcd3043d9bc2e7da1faa2703446933da5fb486e24e07839d2ff55b098/PXL_20230813_094029049.MP.png" /> <img width="1706" height="3032" width_o="1706" height_o="3032" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/2f88c3a10f5461aacdd334dacbc09f4ecb8e4062642eca605eb5b85d39a6482d/PXL_20230820_094504738.png" data-mid="254166596" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/2f88c3a10f5461aacdd334dacbc09f4ecb8e4062642eca605eb5b85d39a6482d/PXL_20230820_094504738.png" /> <img width="2268" height="4032" width_o="2268" height_o="4032" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/0164682e13e0d6c7053a0c53818a35a2cbee038f30bc2cb4895fd0cbe4ead8b4/PXL_20230820_094454449.png" data-mid="254166595" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/0164682e13e0d6c7053a0c53818a35a2cbee038f30bc2cb4895fd0cbe4ead8b4/PXL_20230820_094454449.png" /> <img width="1929" height="3347" width_o="1929" height_o="3347" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/d838b74d09b08fa1fdb7be8396ad94d2852daf4cdec1b861c8fb342bfd72ff7f/PXL_20230820_1050449222.png" data-mid="254166597" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/d838b74d09b08fa1fdb7be8396ad94d2852daf4cdec1b861c8fb342bfd72ff7f/PXL_20230820_1050449222.png" /> <img width="2268" height="3216" width_o="2268" height_o="3216" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/c2fe85f10ea7931be68159606b73c91b8cd656b64318bf415c8d227d3cc9b385/PXL_20230826_134416533.png" data-mid="254166598" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/c2fe85f10ea7931be68159606b73c91b8cd656b64318bf415c8d227d3cc9b385/PXL_20230826_134416533.png" /> <img width="3032" height="1706" width_o="3032" height_o="1706" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/07f39334d134d6b1884ee512311162edf5aca49c1fb2fc1692fe97f4314e84d0/PXL_20230826_185124451.png" data-mid="254166601" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/07f39334d134d6b1884ee512311162edf5aca49c1fb2fc1692fe97f4314e84d0/PXL_20230826_185124451.png" /> <img width="2996" height="1972" width_o="2996" height_o="1972" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/baea56ecb629c832ee692358c0cf78c35da82563528ab13887138b3508d5a162/PXL_20230825_204524686.png" data-mid="254166594" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/baea56ecb629c832ee692358c0cf78c35da82563528ab13887138b3508d5a162/PXL_20230825_204524686.png" /> <img width="3835" height="2157" width_o="3835" height_o="2157" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/3346b930f0bf567e73ae69b04f4be88bed14a848bcc3ee6de36eaccca366565e/PXL_20230827_124756952.png" data-mid="254166599" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/3346b930f0bf567e73ae69b04f4be88bed14a848bcc3ee6de36eaccca366565e/PXL_20230827_124756952.png" /> https://leandrosmarios.com/Von-zart-bis-Hart Mon, 09 Nov 2026 21:18:55 +0000 Marios Leandros Basteas https://leandrosmarios.com/Von-zart-bis-Hart Von Zart bis Hart Von Zart bis Hart (installation) In our era of perpetual information bombardment and pervasive attention-span-distraction mechanisms, this artwork encapsulates a modern Kafkaesque narrative. The artist, akin to a Kafkaesque protagonist, strives to maintain focus within the confines of his "Raum" (room). Outside, running parallel to the sanctioned realms of mass consumption shaped by formidable entities, we construct an analog collage by navigating the intricate patterns of social media. In a landscape where everyone has a stake in art, yet the powerful dominate its expression and promotion to influential spheres, we turn into metaphorical cockroaches. This transformation extends even to those within our immediate circles. In the realm of contemplation and exploration, we navigate a Berlin-esque terrain—hovering between treasures and detritus. The point is, as with any insect, to remain hidden but be able to enter every house and disturb, as Socrates once said, the resting - bored horse like horse breeders do. In his work, Leandros creates a kind-of-map that navigates his experience as an immigrant in Berlin. A seemingly chaotic collage that includes different aspects of life with pieces that the artist started collecting from the very first day he arrived in Germany is presented. The outcome is a personal yet universally relatable exploration that comments on issues like overexposure to information, politics as a part of our identity, AI, mainstream ‘sellable’ art, and all that through the prism of the artist. Makes us wonder, what is art after all, and what is the role of the artist in it?

I want to witness and reconstruct an image of the city, not only of my own memories but of a collective memory that ultimately shapes it. The ‘’Arch of Galerius’’ widely known as ‘’Kamara’’ is the central point and one of the most important Roman monuments of the city. Even after 1700 years, it remains a symbol and part of daily life. It is used as a meeting point, a place of political and cultural gatherings, a touristic attraction, a drug trafficking area and as ‘’playground’’ for bag-snatchers and lovers alike. I ask one simple question: What is the first image that comes to mind when you think of Thessaloniki? The answers vary and reveal the respondents' relations to the city. The hypothesis that ''Kamara'', the Roman triumphal monument, will prevail as an answer is confirmed and therefore takes the lead in each composition. However, all answers are included in each artwork for the creation of a new historicity. Each piece is unique and has been made during the 5 years I lived in Thessaloniki. All documents and videos are from my personal archive. <img width="2695" height="1989" width_o="2695" height_o="1989" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/3570220ed60e18b7f4f835205c4ccaf995825359b85d33a31f7fbe0750a234f4/DSC_0051.png" data-mid="254166632" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/3570220ed60e18b7f4f835205c4ccaf995825359b85d33a31f7fbe0750a234f4/DSC_0051.png" /> <img width="2678" height="3820" width_o="2678" height_o="3820" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/8dcd3c1c027c63a3093e13c1a9339be97887b8117beb937aa51e52aceeb6d8dc/IMG_20210317_201737.jpg" data-mid="254166636" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/8dcd3c1c027c63a3093e13c1a9339be97887b8117beb937aa51e52aceeb6d8dc/IMG_20210317_201737.jpg" /> <img width="512" height="512" width_o="512" height_o="512" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/f5b861c9115d7e9bccd02bce504548088e38547ce373883be506aa9802b0bcb9/20220911231004_00156.png" data-mid="254166629" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/512/i/f5b861c9115d7e9bccd02bce504548088e38547ce373883be506aa9802b0bcb9/20220911231004_00156.png" /> <img width="512" height="512" width_o="512" height_o="512" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/3d0ed59b5f85b67cd0754fb700dd36fd25657ac7a509e51ba65791d63b939c67/20220911231004_00046.png" data-mid="254166627" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/512/i/3d0ed59b5f85b67cd0754fb700dd36fd25657ac7a509e51ba65791d63b939c67/20220911231004_00046.png" /> <img width="4000" height="3000" width_o="4000" height_o="3000" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/5f3d7d3199c7f791e74eaaefc10d9e14dc64d1f91cccc7505c02c82ec7d00338/IMG_20210302_183159.jpg" data-mid="254166634" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/5f3d7d3199c7f791e74eaaefc10d9e14dc64d1f91cccc7505c02c82ec7d00338/IMG_20210302_183159.jpg" /> <img width="4000" height="3000" width_o="4000" height_o="3000" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/d6b67989d1e2c760709ae267f8d3830925e3c6122df9050b9b70e099b361c885/IMG_20210411_193710.jpg" data-mid="254166638" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/d6b67989d1e2c760709ae267f8d3830925e3c6122df9050b9b70e099b361c885/IMG_20210411_193710.jpg" /> <img width="512" height="512" width_o="512" height_o="512" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/c0c98bece59ee48ab983a04ea09fd25455b4e182bd228884081cf79bc8f1295c/20220911231004_00180.png" data-mid="254166630" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/512/i/c0c98bece59ee48ab983a04ea09fd25455b4e182bd228884081cf79bc8f1295c/20220911231004_00180.png" /> <img width="512" height="512" width_o="512" height_o="512" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/8a1d25cb98d4461580f7b7b3a01f863a4cd977c31cd5b3cba6bcd28c694ba743/20220911231004_00079.png" data-mid="254166628" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/512/i/8a1d25cb98d4461580f7b7b3a01f863a4cd977c31cd5b3cba6bcd28c694ba743/20220911231004_00079.png" /> <img width="4000" height="3000" width_o="4000" height_o="3000" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/9fcfb8795bca58110cad447506f7953ee98c8e0e9bf7d72b8340d81935c4eb62/IMG_20210301_161007.jpg" data-mid="254166633" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/9fcfb8795bca58110cad447506f7953ee98c8e0e9bf7d72b8340d81935c4eb62/IMG_20210301_161007.jpg" /> <img width="1280" height="720" width_o="1280" height_o="720" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/e9bb485777a9966ec286de6014f0031809d0663e2dcdecd659af4f6995b162ca/IMG_20210317_201112.jpg" data-mid="254166635" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/e9bb485777a9966ec286de6014f0031809d0663e2dcdecd659af4f6995b162ca/IMG_20210317_201112.jpg" /> <img width="586" height="424" width_o="586" height_o="424" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/77dad7a321db18c9b8a16ee43fbd75c62ae337a97383f44526ceea4e2d24e43d/1.gif" data-mid="254166639" border="0" data-scale="80" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/586/i/77dad7a321db18c9b8a16ee43fbd75c62ae337a97383f44526ceea4e2d24e43d/1.gif" /> https://leandrosmarios.com/Erroneous-Process Mon, 09 Nov 2026 21:19:00 +0000 Marios Leandros Basteas https://leandrosmarios.com/Erroneous-Process Erroneous Process An incorrect procedure's imprint is recorded. &nbsp; (part of CnaΨ installation) <img width="1394" height="784" width_o="1394" height_o="784" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/55833b488efb27a033a5211e1f48209286c4fb8f7da2ce2fdb86d8c3650ccc07/IGkljkljTV-Thumbnail.jpg" data-mid="254166652" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/55833b488efb27a033a5211e1f48209286c4fb8f7da2ce2fdb86d8c3650ccc07/IGkljkljTV-Thumbnail.jpg" /> I reshape my body, covering my mouth completely with plasticine. This masking symbolizes wholeness, in the expression of the visual language, as a communication form. I m trying to dig up and picture the space of the unspoken, where language has no longer access. In the next step, with the help of my colleague John, we attempt to create a realistic mold of my own face. Every detail has and will be reproduced in the final sculptural installation (C-na-Ψ). But the elements of chance andpreconception intersect, revealing a new perspective. Shekin and Rafael rush to help. All four of us become witnesses and protagonists of the same experiment. What are the motivations for one to persist against all odds when planning falls apart? What happens when one finds oneself powerless under the authority of others? How do we perceive and interpret the need of another and how do we interpret the help that is provided? Questions that recur throughout art history and are documented to map the neuro-synapses.

Based on Heideggerian philosophy, it is not used for anything but contemplation, which is the means of approaching freedom (Heidegger, p.102)1. Every statement in its language remains eternal. In materials such as stone or marble, where matter is removed, error does not allow a return to the original position. Here there are no Ctrl+Z’s as there are in digital designer rooms. The error remains apparent - honest and open to face-to-face confrontation. But not always; in many cases it can be amplified. However, it remains. A surgeon cuts and penetrates the body with his instruments. He dramatically reduces the distance and interacts with the material substance. I attempt, with my attention focused on the human vehicle, to locate, x-ray and then map elements that operate and play out, in the distant, borderline obscure scene of the human intellect. [...]Over time, I become aware of, and observe, an indefinable bodily structure, similar to my own. Unformalised internal dialogues and agreements are stored as destinations without me identifying their exact location and the moment of their conception. A function as familiar as the huge pine tree in my backyard. But I will never see its true size, as long as it is not uprooted.
