+++
With its character of a ruin of a forgotten purpose the unfinished building is at the same time pointing to the past and to the future.
Since 2012, Lalou and Aymo-Boot have worked together on the project [UN]FINISHED, a continuous archival research project on the unfinished concrete buildings of Athens, engaging the spectator in a process of viewing parts of the void in the history of the city, architecturally, socially, and politically. The project has been presented at Contemporary Art ReMap 4 (Athens), UNIDEE/Fondazione Pistoletto (Biella), The Symptom Project (Amfissa), as well as Università Iuav di Venezia, ETH Zürich, and Princeton University, among others. In 2020 they established cross section archive in Athens.
About the authors: Maria Lalou is a Greek artist based in Amsterdam and Athens. Her work focuses on the topic of “viewing” through large-scale installations, performances, and publications. She incorporates cinematic and surveillance apparatuses as her tools, with references to the politics of the viewer. Lalou has presented her work internationally at, among others, the Greek Film Archives (Athens) & Printed Matter (New York). She has published two monographs [theatro] (2015) and the camera(2019). Skafte Aymo-Boot is a Danish architect based in Amsterdam. In 2009 he co-founded NEZU AYMO architects in Amsterdam. Since 2019 he is a partner at Open Platform in Copenhagen. A significant part of his practice is the collaboration with artists working in the overlap between architecture and visual art. He has presented his work in lectures at, among others, the School of Architecture at the Royal Academy of Art, Copenhagen, Universidad National, Bogotá, and TU Delft.
