Neither/Nor is a single-channel video work exploring the condition of in-betweenness as experienced through movement, displacement, and repetition. Filmed from the window of an airplane, the piece continuously loops over the snow-covered mountains of St. Moritz, transforming a familiar aerial view into a suspended spatial and temporal threshold.

 

Rooted in my experience of living between Athens and London, this landscape became an index of orientation — a recurring visual anchor marking the passage between two localities that gradually ceased to feel like home. The mountain range thus emerged as an intermediate territory - neither departure nor arrival, but an ephemeral “home” defined by the act of transit itself.

 

Engaging with Marc Augé’s notion of the non-place and the fluidity of belonging in contemporary mobility, Neither/Nor situates the viewer within an extended moment of aerial suspension. It destabilizes conventional ideas of grounded identity and domesticity, proposing instead a form of habitation that exists within movement itself.

 

During its first exhibition in Lisbon, a malfunctioning HDMI cable caused the projector to display only the red RGB channel. The accidental glitch was retained and became central to the work’s conceptual framework. The red monochrome — an aesthetic of error — disrupts the representational logic of the image, turning the mountains into an abstract field of affect and memory. Embracing contingency as method, Neither/Nor reflects on how meaning, perception, and identity unfold through processes of chance and transformation, suggesting that “home” may exist precisely within the act of passage.
