Pics from our first year MA students at CSM during a workshop about Essayistic practices.
From a short series of pics taken in South Africa in December 2025
fitting vaguely under a title I threw together: ‘Can’t touch my destiny’
The photos are of me returning to a previous home, nature, grounds, communities, and art is all around. Everywhere in wild landscapes, and in their vastness.
Faded pics from my performance Objects of Desire at Rhodes University, South Africa.

Glad to be featured at P. Veremi’s website (former director of the Greek State School of Dance). These photos are from when I was leading the course of choreography. Good work, good colleagues, wonderful students. Thank you Pavlina for those years.
