Konstantina Skalionta
WE WERE PROMISED A CASTLE
The work explores the matter of happiness and in what way a community can come together in order to claim it. The work experiments with the making of an alter ego character named Maria Andreou. Maria (aka princess of Lemesos) blurs the boundaries of autobiography and fiction through a process of unpacking personal objects. This process unfolds experiences, facts, stories and questions around female identity, happiness and the environment that defines her.
