MOMus, still socially active and in the present condition, recommends selected works exclusively from its collections and exhibitions in its online program "MOMus Resilience Project". At the same time, MOMus wants to be closer to the people who work, create, express themselves through their homes, and recommends aspects of "home", that is home life, as artists have perceived it to be in tempore non suspecto.

[DAY 36] Katerina Zacharopoulou, Petronella Oortman, 2011

A woman alone in her home, lost in thoughts and memories, surrounded by the objects of everyday life, she thinks, shuffles, is moved, reads, flips through albums with photos, reminisces about the past. Drawing their original reference to the original Petronella Oortman Dollhouse, a 1690 work at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, Katerina Zacharopoulou's performances take place in the rooms of an imaginary house she built herself from a multifaceted ornate set and personal souvenir. Petronella's dollhouse is the ideal representation of the microcosm of a woman living confined to her home space, in another era, when the presence of women in public space was class and socially determined. Everyday activities and experiences are the vehicle that connects today's art with the bourgeoisie of the 17th century, in a visual revision of a hypothetical biography.
