THE BREEDER
! ANDREAS ANGELIDAKIS Introduction The work of Andreas Angelidakis investigates the passing of time. Whether it's history or archaeology, or even an imagined future, his work blurs the boundaries between memory and hallucination, between fiction and reality. Trained as an architect, his practice has evolved to include that of artist, exhibition maker and curator. He uses exhibitions as a medium in itself, a lens through which to re-examine the work and the world around it. In his videos, which often talk about the histories of buildings, time often switches from a critical view on the past to a fictional future, with the viewer invited along as Angelidakis combines personal memories with historical fact and architectural fantasy. The passing of time transforms into an eternal present, ruins get resurrected as actors in a city, and online communities turn into our Ancient Rome. Angelidakis' flattening of time is often informed by the way we perceive the world through the internet. He has been experimenting with 3D printing since the first days of rapid prototyping, initially to archive buildings he designed for friends inside online communities such as Active Worlds. These first off-white maquettes, exhibited as early as 2002, were often labeled “ghosts�, real world representation of objects that existed only online. His recent work with 3D printing involves turning everyday objects into buildings, by adding elements that suggest scale or use, such as a staircase, a door, a column. A glazed ceramic flower shaped flowerpot becomes a house, commenting on the nature of the collectible bibelot as a vehicle for emotions and memories. An object of sentimental value discovered in a flea market is given a new life as a building, and becomes a record of a building that will never exist. Ancient Greek columns downloaded from online object libraries are 3D printed into ruins wrapped with greek folklore rugs, echoing his 2014 installation for the 8th Berlin Biennial Crash Pad, a historical reexamination of the political history of Modern Greece.
