| Maria Zervou My works are characterized by the expression of a personal way of feeling. They are born firstly as images in my mind, and then take different forms, at times overlapping. What characterize my images is an emotional vulnerability. My stories are always constructed upon metaphors. Whether in video, drawing or installations, I explore the often double sided nature of things. I use scenes referring to the every day life in contradiction with absurd elements or paradoxes. I am very much interested in exploring the dual views of the reality of the visible world outside and what we see as the reality of our inner fantasy world. I aim to invert the viewers expectations by emphasizing absurd elements of reality. One of my methods to explore the dual views of reality is bringing different elements together in order to create a dialogue. The dialogue is often engages with the re-positioning of the individual into well known social, personal or political structures. I am interested in the shift of the banal into the unexpected.
