WE NEED TO DO MORE: magical thinking, 2024

solo exhibition, curated by Olympia Tzortzi @Callirrhoë, Athens

Considering the multifaceted interpretation of the phrase „we need to do more: magical thinking,» Paky Vlassopoulou embraces the notion of magical thinking associated with children’s immersion in fantastical imaginary worlds. This understanding facilitates the development of children’s ability to perceive and interact with the world from diverse perspectives. Through the embrace of magical thinking, children can explore imaginative realms, fostering nuanced understandings of reality. In line with this concept, the artist proposes to revisit this state of mind by creating shelters for various creatures, aiming to cultivate a sense of security and belonging.
