Parataxis (2021)

Parataxis is an installation formed of Revolution is a Living Language; a limited-edition printed textile of a digital collage and Looking and Being Overlooked; a 20-minute silent moving image work that visually traverses the printed textile as threads are slowly pulled from the fabric. It is filmed at an optically macro level, enabling single threads and fibres to become visible.

In Parataxis the marginal - as an overlooked figure or a place - is considered as the site through which transformation and revolution occurs.

Co-commissioned by the Centre for Research Collections (University of Edinburgh) and the A.G. Leventis Foundation (Greece) Parataxis creates a visual dialogue between political revolution, historic interconnectivity, and marginalised individuals including ‘The Edinburgh Seven’, some of the first female students to be matriculated at any British University (1896) who fought to study Medicine at the University of Edinburgh.

Parataxis has been acquired by the Centre for Research Collections (University of Edinburgh) and is part of its permanent art collection.
