Drawing on her experience of growing up in the Greek diaspora, Eugenia Raskopoulos' work 're-ma(r)king' reflects on how cultural knowledge is transferred across contexts and between generations through objects, rituals and stories. 're-ma(r)king' is focused on two items that belonged to the artist's grandmother, which she animates through performance. On one screen, we see Raskopoulos unraveling a woven doily then winding this into a ball of thread, restoring the crafted object to its material origins. In the other, we see her dripping olive oil onto a concrete floor, then spreading it with a rolling pin as though preparing pastry. These actions invoke the power of mnemonic triggers to bring the past into the present. A portrait of the artist can be glimpsed in the reflective surface of the oil, partial and provisional, like memory itself.
