"What man needs is an Entopia, an 'in-place' which he can build, a place which satisfies the dreamer and is acceptable to the scientist, a place where the projections of the artist and the builder merge."

— K. A. Doxiadis, Ekistics, vol. 22, no. 132, November 1966, p. 312 

“Entopic Diaries: Geography of Home” explores the architecture of memory together with the idea of home. The video installation combines imagery from the places Zervos has lived in—or left behind—over the past 15 years. These images function as diaries and are paired with readings of Zervos’s poetry performed by actors. The video imagery is juxtaposed with excerpts from David Lynch’s film Mulholland Drive. The poems, which focus on spaces of memory, make direct references to Seferis’ work and explore the concept of familiarity, while the cinematic fragments of Lynch’s film are projected onto male and female bodies, transforming them into screens and places of reflection. Thus, in “Entopic Diaries: Geography of Home”personal narratives intersect with unfamiliar social and cultural conditions. Through this process, the body, architecture, and environment act as interconnected surfaces that reflect on contemporary realities.

“Entopic Diaries: Geography of Home” was first presented in a solo show at The Hellenic American Union, curated by Katerina Koskina.
