Jazmin Charalambous

land art - public space - sculpture - social - drawing

My work is spatial and explores the intersection between public space, theatre, and architecture. It ranges from photography to performance, drawings, and models, often manifesting physically as public sculpture or land art. Through the combination of these various mediums, I am interested in crafting site-specific situations and rituals that provoke understanding between people, animals and environments with an overarching emphasis on finding alternative ways of living and being. The creation of such situations - or scenographies - are central to my practice, conceived as atmospheres that transform over time.


Puffi Gardens

Project

  • until 31-07-2022
  • The series takes a ubiquitous and ordinary mini bottle of Pfefferminz liquor and transforms it into a variety of plants and flowers as a reflection of daytime drinking in uncared-for places.

Maas Stones

Project

  • until 31-03-2022
  • In collaboration with: Felix Mohr
  • Location: Rotterdam,
  • An outdoor installation that creates an unofficial public artwork in an overlooked gray zone. The stones manufacture chaos; recreating a randomness usually found in nature; assembling and reassembling the same pieces of foraged scrap wood into unique molds to form a line of stones that are immersed in a dialogue with the city skyline.

Donny's Throne

Exhibition / presentation

  • 06-04-2022 t/m 24-04-2022
  • Location: Projectruimte Attent, Rotterdam
  • A sculptural installation that takes an object abandoned by humans and offers it back to nature. A washed up chair that was found broken, and washed up on the banks of the River Maas is fixed by casting a new seat from bird seeds and fat. Hanging up in the trees of the Otje Garden, the chair forms a grand feeding spot for birds (or, it turns out, one bird in particular – Donny). People can watch him interact with the installation whilst sitting on a hay bale below.
