With influence from playwright Samuel Beckett, Passas takes a theatrical approach to the use of space as a vehicle for communication and the temporal spectacle of performance. The dialogues between her objects creating new spaces and narratives through a considered installation process.
‘In-out-vaders of Untitled House VII’ explores Passas’ experience of living in an un-kept listed building. Informed by philosopher Camus, Passas investigates the paradox of a relentlessness of time and the uncontrollable, alongside the agency of choice. Within this installation moments of chaos and order come together in a dialogue that reflects Passas’ living conditions and her battle to maintain a home during the buildings inevitable decline. Through the dualities created by her work, Passas aims to comment on our present housing landscape, whilst asking “what if?” in an attempt to deal with an uncertain future.
