Vasilis Papageorgiou | Sun, Light, and Shadows: Explorations of Energy, Leisure, and Control

The project “Sun, Light, and Shadows: Explorations of Energy, Leisure, and Control” is inspired by long-term research into the depletion of planetary resources and the cyclical need for rest and regeneration. Exploring humanity’s relationship with sunlight—from its healing potential to its manipulation and control—the project examines the historical, cultural, and environmental dimensions of solar exposure in art, architecture, and daily life. Through a multidisciplinary approach, the residency fosters artistic research into light as a material, political tool, and metaphor for both empowerment and restriction.
