Eva Papamargariti: Disappear Here

Disappear Here (2026) is a chimeric audiovisual installation activated through a performance. It revolves around emerging forms of storytelling, storytellers, and mythologies that are crafted and disseminated in real time within the paradoxical realm of the current attention economy and doomscrolling.

The first stories were told around a fire. Someone said “listen,” and people gathered to share attention and belonging. Disappear Here is an audiovisual installation that asks what becomes of that ritual once we’ve traded the fire for the feed, where avatars, memes, and AI prompts generate myths in real time, authored by algorithms as much as by human storytellers.

Across four screens, an uncanny parade of Othered bodies moves through mythologies, conspiracies, and fragile kinships. During a daily performance activation, a lone body, resembling the creatures on screen, emerges from the dark. It approaches each creature in turn, copying gestures through trial and error. Who leads and who follows is never fully clear. Connection is never quite achieved, but endlessly, faithfully attempted.

About the Artist

Eva Papamargariti is an artist based between Athens and London. Her practice spans moving image, printed matter, and sculptural installation, exploring the cognitive and affective relations between coexisting realities, where the grotesque, the mythological, the fictional, the eerie, the mundane, and the real converge. Using video, CG animation, AR, 3D scanning, textiles, sound, and text, she investigates notions of identification and metamorphosis, simultaneity, liminality, the dialectics of fluidity, the symbiotic relationships between human and non-human agents, as well as the construction of identity shaped by online presence.

She has exhibited in solo exhibitions, group exhibitions, and screenings worldwide, at institutions and festivals such as the New Museum (New York), Whitney Museum of American Art (New York), MoMA PS1 (New York), Tate Britain (London), Museum of Contemporary Art (Montreal), MAAT Museum (Lisbon), MUTEK (Montreal), Transmediale (Berlin), Ars Electronica (Linz), and Athens Biennale (Athens), among others

She was a resident artist at Onassis AiR and Onassis ONX in Athens and New York (2024-25), the LUMA Foundation in Arles, France (2023), and at the New Now residency at Zollverein, Germany (2023). Her work is held in public and private collections, including DESTE Foundation, PCAI Collection, and Onassis Foundation.
