Always more than one

Nefeli Papadimouli’s modular installations and portable sculptures create spaces for collective movement and interaction. In her practice, she explores how distance, proximity and movement form essential elements within processes of coexistence, social conflict, negotiation and balance.

With Always more than one, Papadimouli considers the body as a fluid field of relations, constantly emerging through its interactions with the surrounding world rather than as a fixed and isolated unit. Drawing from Erin Manning’s philosophy, the work explores the dissolution of the individual body into a collective, relational existence.

During the actualisation of the work, performers engage with natural cycles, allowing matter, movement and the environment to continuously reshape the body. The boundaries between the individual and its surroundings become permeable, addressing interdependence as a condition of corporeal existence.

The solo exhibition Nefeli Papadimouli. ANAMESA is on view at M until 9 May 2027.

On Friday 20:11 at 15:00, Nefeli Papadimouli will engage in a dialogue with Keren Detten.
