Performative Scenographies

Ellada Damianou

Dates: Saturday 23 May; Sunday 24 May

This research investigates the concept of “Liquid Scenography”—a system of portable, high-tension architectures designed to be sustained by the human body. By utilizing principles of Biotensegrity and origami logic, the work explores how materials like 3mm/5mm cordage and industrial elastics can create temporary, 3D volumes.
