Artist in residency

Ingrid Helena Pajo

20.3-10.4.2023

Living Room’s first artist in residency was Ingrid Helena Pajo.
While continuing the creative research of antique textiles, Ingrid is currently focusing on the characteristics of textiles that are perhaps difficult to describe in words, such as the atmosphere that the fabric creates and the craftsmanship, or simply the humanity, that is left on the object by the hand of its maker. Here in Athens she has regularly visited archeology and ethnography museums, sketching their exhibits and pondering the values they reflect: alongside visible meanings, there are also those that cannot be understood millennia after they were created, and theories why some things are done, are the fruits of pure improvisation. This lack of knowledge is incendiary, giving way to self-interpretations.
