Multiple reversals, besides a game of scales at the limits of structure, space and image await the visitor who will finally open the door to the installation of Dimitris Kozaris's "Homes and Spiral Staircases." Scale models of homes that are reminiscent of a diorama disaster or a child's construction pile-ups appear crunched within the dimensions of space which, externally as well as internally seems to be merely "storage" ultimately proves to be enclosing and containing the enormous entity called "home." This upset tends to enhance the imbalance of the leaning homes which, together with their long lost axis have also lost their vital connection with the spiral staircases that used to ensure free movement in addition to maintaining order, connectivity and effective communication.
