Temporal Reflections

Light, reflection, and material memory unfold through a new series of luminous objects,  translucent forms that hold and release color with every shift in perspective. These pieces transform reflection into radiance, and solidity into a more fluid, immaterial presence.

Set within an entirely white environment,  where curtains, carpet, and pedestals subtly dissolve into each other,  the installation becomes a suspended field in which color appears to hover in space. Light glides across surfaces and blends into the surroundings, forming quiet gradients that shift with the viewer’s movement.
Like a kaleidoscope reshaping vision with every turn, the work explores the fluid relationship between perception, time, and memory. Each piece becomes a vessel for light,  momentary yet enduring,  embodying the transient nature of experience.

Ultimately, the concept reflects on how light can act as both memory and material, revealing the invisible rhythms that connect perception to emotion, and the present to what quietly fades away.

Eleni Petaloti and Leonidas Trampoukis are a duo operating the studio Objects of Common Interest, working within the realm of art and design and architecture, blending projects in scale from objects and installations to interactive immersive environments and interior spaces. Objects of common interest were formed with the focus on creating still-life installations and experiential environments and objects, demonstrating a fixation with materiality, concept, and tangible spatial experiences. The work roots in an amalgamation of thinking and making between two diverse poles, Greece, and New York.
