In Transition

"In Transition" explores the territorial reconfiguration during the construction of a new port in Samos. Through an "artificial geology," the series redefines the boundary between land and sea.

In Transition

This series focuses on the territorial reconfiguration during the construction of the new port in Karlovasi, Samos. 

The work explores the emergence of an artificial geology, where the boundary between land and sea is redefined through the organization of inert materials and port infrastructures.

The human subject is integrated into the frame as an organic component of the production process, acquiring the same ontological weight as the surrounding structural elements. The workers function primarily as scale indicators —anonymous units of measurement within the site's new geometries— while simultaneously captured in states of physical exhaustion and internal withdrawal.

The black-and-white tonality emphasizes the materiality of transition. Stripped of any picturesque quality, the landscape is transformed into a field of structural tensions, where the roughness of concrete and the austerity of iron rearrange the natural environment. Within this framework, shadowed interior spaces are treated as extensions of this material condition, capturing a sense of the incomplete.

The construction is not treated as a finished product, but as a field of morphological transformations; the moment when matter is organized into infrastructure, creating a new relief that claims its place in the history of the landscape.
