Ioanna Sakellaraki is a Greek visual artist and researcher. Her work investigates the relationship between collective cultural memory and fiction. Drawing emphasis on the photographic object, process and encounter, she explores the boundaries of a primitive, yet futuristic vision of places and people.

At night, I have a great yearning to ride all the anxiety out of me. Like a nocturnal gesture of anguish that secludes me so insecurity becomes my solid defense.

Today at the lab rupturing Mother of Pearl`s matter 🔬
I have finally acquired a very interesting and diverse collection of pearls to work with utilising scanning electron microscopy at the lab for the next few months attempting to produce a different type of imaging relating both to surface and concentric layers of internal structure.
Working with fractured parts of their damaged composition and in relation to a philosophical exploration of fragmentary literature of the writing of the disaster, I will be developing a synthesis of understandings on otherness, dispersion and alterity as part of the third part of my practice-led PhD "Archiving the Disaster: Preservation, Separation and Encounter".
Thank you @rmituniversity Microscopy and Microanalysis facility and staff for giving me the opportunity to work with such amazing equipment for the realisation of this part of my doctoral research.
