Aikaterini Gegisian: Third Person (Plural)

Aikaterini Gegisian is a Greek Armenian artist based in Thessaloniki and London. Her practice spans film, photography, and collage, and explores unstable identities shaped by concepts of place, belonging, and memory. Gegisian’s films examine the interplay between bodily and mental experiences, subjective and ideological perspectives, and personal and social dimensions.

Third Person (Plural) assembles an archival collection of two hundred informational pieces and newsreels produced in the United States after the Second World War that offers an American viewpoint on European political dynamics. The film depicts the construction of a notion of the ‘rest of the world’ that has continuously supported isolationist and proto-imperialist positions in the United States.

This exhibition is produced by SIRIUS and curated by Miguel Amado, Director.
