Home is a short Super 8 film made in collaboration with movement artist Konstantina Katsikari. The piece sits at the intersection of performance, sensory memory and imagery that draws on the aesthetics of family archives, offering a poetic reflection on softness, nostalgia, and inner connection. It is a response to shared feelings of longing for home and the past. We are both women in our late twenties and early thirties, often caught in the in-between not quite settled into adult life, still holding tightly to memories of freedom, wonder and softness.

We wanted to create a space that felt light and playful, guided by a childlike gaze rather than something performative. The Super 8 format was chosen for its archival quality its texture and colour helped shift the piece into a different time, evoking warmth, memory and slowness.

The performance itself is quiet and sensory. We focused on touch, air, skin, the sound of bees simple gestures that echo something much deeper. It was important that the camera did not objectify but allowed space for movement and ease. This was not about spectacle but about softness, inner connection and reclaiming comfort in our own skin.

The piece reflects on the feeling of safety and nostalgia in our childhood memories the parts of ourselves we keep under wraps to protect from the noise and responsibilities of modern, urban life.

“Where is our childlike wonder to explore and connect with the nature our roots had to offer? Where is the calm and honest curiosity that comes with being a young girl? In this project, we connect with the memories of what is left of that time, trying to uncover the purest part of ourselves that have helped us evolve into the women we are today.”
