In this video-installation, international model turned visual artist Efi Spyrou addresses the political economy of the female body in fashion and of the artwork in auction houses. The experience of the incessant measuring of her own body in the fashion industry reflects the assessment and evaluation processes involved in the art world in a self-reflexive installation. Fashion meets art meets architecture, turning the spotlight to the spaces where art and the body are constantly measured, assessed, evaluated, sold, while simultaneously being preserved, valued, appreciated, protected.
