Pavlina Vagioni: Proteus Within

Through a dynamic interplay of light, darkness, sound, and three-dimensional forms, artist Pavlina Vagioni transforms the TANK space into an illusory sea, echoing the ever-changing forms of the mythical Proteus, the shape-shifting sea deity from Greek mythology. Simultaneously, the work delves into the territory of the collective unconscious, pulling references from analytical psychology and Carl Jung's theories while rendering a commentary on the "Proteus effect" in our digital age—the influence of one's virtual avatar on real-world behavior. Pavlina Vagioni is a multimedia artist based between Houston and Greece. Join us for the opening reception on Thursday, September 21!
