Beatrice Bonino & François Gravel scouted around downtown Athens for fabric, packaging materials, and stationery stores for their sculptural works. They incorporated found elements such as a hanger adhered with cellophane tape to the vitrine of a storefront, long-sleeved T-shirts made in Greece, custom-made thigh-high plush cotton socks produced in Paris, and various sleeves originally meant to protect garments, fabrics, and paper.

Ana Botezatu made the marionettes using inexpensive packaging materials found inAthenian bodegas and shops. The hands and feet of these imaginary characters are made of plaster, while their heads are made of eggshells. The positions of their arms and legs can be adjusted by moving the strings.

Maria Giovanna Drago presents miniature garment samples of dresses in her first and only collection in Milan in 2006, which was selected for the first prize for young fashion talents.

Lukas Gschwandtner presents a modular plaster cast of the threshold spaces of Kunstverein München. The model, inspired by a recently discovered Romansarcophagus, incorporates in its rendition of characteristic arches, staircases, doors, and tall walls reliefs of vitrines, seating, bookcases, and tables: his proposal for KM, which will open to the public in late June 2026. The walls of the model are detachable and can also bedisplayed as independent fragments.

Labrilena Konstantelou revives enfleurage, a traditional perfume-making technique forextracting scent from fragile flowers. Delicate jasmine flowers are arrangedsymmetrically on a layer of odorless animal fat spread over glass. Over time, the fat absorbs their aromatic compounds. The custom-made box is constructed from wood and museum glass, and fitted withhinges and latches, allowing it to be opened and closed. When opened, the work releases the accumulated aroma of theflowers into the surrounding space.

Marietta Mavrokordatou recreates an ad in Vogue magazine from the 2000s. The original image depicted a high heel sandal by the brand manufacture d’essai, shotagainst the background of city lights. The model is now wearing a pump which issuperimposed on an image of Omonoia Square in Athens.

Anna Santangelo & Kostas Murkudis have recently started collaborating on a series of hand-crafted jewellery pieces inspired by the Oorijzer (ear iron), a type of metal headwear that formed part of traditional Dutch folk costume. Thesepieces symbolized regional identity and heritage and evolved from utilitarian tools into elements that reflectedchanging fashions and social status from the 1600s through the 1800s. Santangelo and Murkudis present three unique forged and polished brass pieces: a headdress that can also be worn as a necklace andreferences contemporary headphones; a wide belt with a sterling silver chain modelledon the body of Anna Santangelo; and a two-part breastplate that clasps at the back.

Kostas Murkudis also presents a shirt he made in 2010, not as part of a collection, but rather as a sculptural work. The garment was coated in white paint and subsequently handsliced across its surface. The process, carried out withconsiderable precision, took approximately one week to complete.
