VOIDS ROLLERS

VOIDS is an Objects of Common Interest project for The Breeder gallery, exploring absence and presence, material and immaterial, gesture and permanence. This series of resin works prioritizes negative space—the unseen, the transient. Through casting, ephemeral moments become tangible, transforming what is typically discarded into something permanent. Inspired by Athens' urban landscape, the first series reinterpreted corrugated steel shopfront rollers, rendering them unusable after each iteration. This transformation captures the fleeting nature of their original state while creating sculptural forms that embody transition. First presented at Frieze London 2024 with The Breeder, VOIDS takes on a new dimension at Villa Borsani during Alcova, where the lamps blur the line between object and light source. Curator Joy Herro envisions a scenography where they seem animated, as if desiring transformation. More than an exhibition, VOIDS ROLLERS is an encounter—an unfolding narrative, challenging perceptions of material permanence and inviting us to reconsider form, space, and memory.

Founded by Eleni Petaloti and Leonidas Trampoukis, Objects of Common Interest engages at the intersection of art, design and architecture. Based between New York and Athens, the studio explores a wide range of scales, from sculptural objects and installations to immersive environments and public art projects. Their work has been exhibited at the Noguchi Museum, Design Museum Brussels, Cycladic Museum Athens, Musée des Beaux-Arts de Québec, Vitra Design Museum, Nilufar Gallery and Etage Projects Copenhagen. The studio has collaborated with CC-Tapis, Bitossi, Kvadrat, RIMOWA, Instagram, Max Mara and Technogym. OoCI were named Designers of the Year 2024 by Elle Deco International Design Awards.
