The Shape of an Island is a multi-media installation which reflects a brief experience of observation, during a seven-day journey to Hydra, Greece. Taking as a starting point the idea of an island as a geographic, sensory and symbolic hiatus in a given environment, the works respond to an exercise of observation through different languages focusing on the space as main subject. Written words, sounds, still and moving images conform a fragmentary recollection of an encounter between the observer and an unfamiliar space.
