in the space of her mind
A collective record. A group of people observe and capture invisible heroes of everyday life, unfolding a space of associations and unanswered questions. Can we listen to their thoughts for a moment?
The project "In the space of her mind" is the result of laboratory work in the period November-December 2020 that was carried out through an electronic platform between Eleni Efthymiou and En Dynamei Ensemble. The observation course started in the laboratory with the aim of answering questions about the space such as: who needs more, why, how can we change the meaning of our space, with how much space a person is happy, what is the image of happiness, who can are the invisible heroes of everyday life whom we can observe in the middle of quarantine, what is hidden behind what we see…
As the material was very rich the work is divided into two parts:
PART A
“In the Space of Her Mind” is a diverse recording. A group of people observe and capture invisible heroes of everyday life. The narrative unfolds in the form of a space of associations and unanswered questions.
