The video installation Sieties, a multi-story installation, consists of four parts. The story is divided into two parts, the two parts are divided into four. The projections doubt the concept of the central perspective.

The story is about a wandering of a woman is presented in differents routes, in the areas of Athens. These areas are “intermediate spaces” (elevators, garages, stairs and uncovered apartment buildings). These places set the subject and the space, in action, without suggesting any stagnation. Through a sequence of the pictures and the spaces, this woman appears to be moving constantly. Walking or wandering indicates her need to identify and decipher her identity.
Another person appears, is this person her other self or another being similar to herself? Is she her or her idol, her doppelganger? This encounter looks ambiguous, oscillating between reality and illusion. Will she recognize her real existence or her reflection?
