LABORATORIUM

‘A Geometry of Togetherness’ by Dimitris Theocharis is a kite inspired by the tetrahedral shape of Alexander Graham Bell’s 1907 design. Made from fibreglass rods and parachute fabric, the piece radiates lightness and balance. Despite its delicate construction, it is fully functional and capable of flight. The structural colours on its surface change with the light, referencing starling murmurations that seek safety in numbers. Playful at first glance, the piece delves into deeper reflections on natural, architectural, and technological patterns. The kite illustrates how individual elements combine to create new properties. Like molecules in nature, its geometric precision reveals hidden harmonies.

Dimitris Theocharis (1987) holds degrees in Mathematics and Fine Arts from Greek institutions and earned his MFA from the Sandberg Institute in Amsterdam in 2020. His practice spans various media and focuses on connections across different disciplines and eras, delving into themes of time, materiality, and the migration of forms across art, nature, and science. He currently lives in Athens, Greece.
