Pashias
Greece / Cyprus
The practice of PASHIAS is grounded in the fields of performance art, installation, photography and video, establishing the artist's body as primary material for creation.
Through his on-going research in social constructs (body + gender), cultural consumption (body + food), competitive spectacles (body + sports), historical artefacts (body + exhibit), public architecture (body + commons), PASHIAS sets out to investigate alternative modes of communication and co-existence.
He has participated in exhibitions and festivals in Cyprus, Greece, United Kingdom, France, Spain, Italy, Germany, Russia, Norway, Finland, Estonia, Sweden, Bulgaria, Turkey, Belgium, Canada and Brazil. PASHIAS has a long-standing collaboration with Diatopos Arts Centre, including solo exhibition "Carry me home" (2019), group exhibitions "The road passes within" (2022) and "Cruel Spring" (2023).
He has collaborated with cultural organizations, such as Fitzwilliam Museum Cambridge, Marina Abramović Institute, SESC São Paulo, Museum of Contemporary Art Estonia, and Mediterranean Biennale of Contemporary Art. PASHIAS has been engaged with curating exhibitions and event series, and has been working as an educator/lecturer.
