The Labour of Non-Productivity

For seven weeks she counted time every second, rendering her body into an analogue clock. She built a staircase by climbing it. She read a text for eight hours, giving thirty seconds to every letter.
Greek performance artist Virginia Mastrogiannaki comes to Valletta to talk about work that produces nothing but time, effort, repetition and ritual — and why it matters.
Through seven works — jargon, Staircase, mensuration of stars, orthros (matins), SJ, 3 times 40 pieces and TEMPO — she opens up a practice in which the body becomes a measure, and ritual becomes a way of being together.
The evening: a welcome, Virginia's presentation, questions from the audience, then time together over light bites, a glass of wine and a fanouropita, the Greek cake that is offered and shared.
