>> Nov 2020, The Library of Our Encounters
The Library of Our Encounters is a long-term project of Swimming Pool in Sofia, Bulgaria, dedicated to what has changed most radically lately: the encounter—as event, presence, time and meaning. The library contains a growing selection of books, carefully collected over the last few years, but it also foregrounds itself as a possible space for a series of encounters among words, ideas, silences, people, aiming to reconsider the trajectory of our thinking in recent months of crisis. The library opens on November 1, 2020 with a textual and spatial arrangement created in collaboration with Christoph Szalay and Fotini Lazaridou-Hatzigoga.

>> Oct 2018, Vor verschlossener Tür. Das Museum und seine Nicht-Räume
Forum für experimentelle Aktionen
Städtische Galerie im Lenbachhaus, München
Di, 16. Oktober 2018, 16:30–19:30 Uhr
Welche Räume gibt es im Museum – abseits der zugänglichen Ausstellungsräume? Und was spielt sich in diesen Räumen ab, die nicht begehbar sind, den Museumsbesuch aber maßgeblich prägen und gestalten? An diesem Dienstag ist Fotini Lazaridou-Hatzigoga, die die szenografische Gestaltung für das Forum entwickelt hat, zu Gast. Mit ihr und den beiden Kunstvermittlerinnen, Stephanie Müller und Marlene Gauß, werden wir uns verschiedene (verschlossene) Räume im Museum genauer anschauen. Wir werden uns weitere Funktionen und andere Aktivitäten für diese Räume vorstellen sowie neue Pläne – in Form von Texten, Zeichnungen, Fotocollagen oder Modellen – dazu entwerfen.

>> Dec 2017, Castings
Castings, a collaborative project with Ana Hušman, is shown at “When a Wave Rolls Out and the Next Has Not Yet Broken” group exhibition curated by Elmar Mellert, Project Space Römerstrasse 2A, Stuttgart, December 8-9, 2017
Presented here are excerpts from an ongoing email correspondence between Ana Hušman and Fotini Lazaridou-Hatzigoga using images shot inside Solitude and words exchanged across the ping-pong table, overheard in the corridors or stolen from the internal mailing list. Following a loose chain of associations, a few narrative threads begin to emerge. Any resemblance to real persons, living or dead, is purely coincidental.

>> Oct 2017, Approaches to the infra-ordinary

Approaches to the Infra-ordinary
with Fotini Lazaridou-Hatzigoga and Gabriela Navas (Observatori d’Antropologia del Conflicte Urbà)
“How should we take account of, question, describe, what happens every day and recurs every day: the banal, the quotidian, the obvious, the common, the ordinary, the infra-ordinary, the background noise, the habitual?” —Georges Perec
Georges Perec introduced the notion of the “infra-ordinary”—as opposed to the extra-ordinary—as the daily realm that often goes unnoticed but needs to be paid attention to and interrogated. This first session of Inter-Accions starts at the smallest of scales, in an attempt to explore a city composed of the daily movements, habits, and shared experiences of its inbabitants, while understanding how those are shaped by but may also shape the built environment around them.
Combining tools and methodologies from anthropology and architecture with artistic vocabularies and approaches, Gabriela Navas and Fotini Lazaridou-Hatzigoga draw from their respective research and practices to propose different ways of looking at the diverse realities and interconnected scales of the local. The session includes a theoretical exchange and a short exercise in the surrounding public space which will form the basis for a collective discussion on the permanent tension between the planned city and the daily life of the people, as well as the latent possibilities for change in that midst.
