'Intermedius' is a live sound performance and fillm installation, which could be described as both belonging to theatre and to sculpture. Τhe outcome is a hybrid of both because of the way in which space; time, performance and materiality are all in active play in order that an element of surprise might occur. It is a stoppage in that it has no continuous reality. It derives from  trauma, dream like experience, ancestry and folk tradition. It is a cross over work that comes out of my life journey starting in Greece and then spending seven years in England. It is the meeting point of conflicted psychological economies.  In a way there is a playing out of repressions, desires, moods, images, impulses through which an audience might pass through.  The work is developed with a view to the emotional charge and how a single motif can become a kind of latent narrative through its repetition and multiplication.  Simplicity, interaction with real materials, and sound composed silence. 'Intermedius' is about the confrontation of physical matter and the elevation of our existence. It is an alive work that meditates the audience through simple actions, and encourages a journey of emotions through optical representations and sound illusions.
