WALLPAPER - Astero Styliani Lamprinou
About
The patterns on the rolls of wallpaper that adorn interiors are all markers of the passing of time, and touch on our social and aesthetic history.
A choreographer, dancer, performance artist and video artist, inspired by architecture and surrealism, Astero Styliani Lamprinou draws inspiration from prints dating from the Baroque period to the 1970s, via the Roaring Twenties and the 1950s, to offer a journey through time as a series of transformations, like strips of wallpaper that change, accumulate and fragment.
At the crossroads of dance and performance, WALLPAPER begins with emptiness and moves towards fullness, shifting in texture and colour with the passing of the eras. A metaphor for a society in constant flux.
