Eirini Kalogera's art focuses in challenging the functions and materials of everyday objects and reappropriating them in order to reach new meanings regarding the familiarity and purpose of their being. Her art is about looking, observing; drawing inspiration from the domestic objects around her and their formal qualities that usually go unnoticed due to the fact that we are so accustomed to them. By shifting the attention of the viewer to an objects form, her goal is to make people actively look at the objects, rather than passively perceive them.
Despite having a background in art, Eirini works also in Fashion and Film, applying the similar principles as in her art, yet through the mediums of photography, video and jewellery.

This project is a constant examination of our surroundings, were we add more questions in every step than answers,
