Stella Baraklianou: The Magician, 2021

Curated by GLOAM.

The Magician was a solo exhibition of the work of artist and researcher Stella Baraklianou. Baraklianou’s practice takes up the idea of the reversible; the reversible encountered in nature, in energy distribution patterns, in magic and folklore, in clothing and garments, and in digital formats and algorithmic codes. Bringing together the material processes of craftwork, textiles, photography and digital fabrication, Baraklianou’s exhibition focused on the presence and absence of ‘The Tarot Magician’.
