Eva Papamargariti’s research centers on the concept of the amorphous as a way of resisting formulation and identification. Always a body, always a thing also refers to the ways plastic comes from nature and returns to it as a non-biodegradable waste, having absorbed elements of life and time in the course of its transformations and wanderings. In her work, the artist examines transformation and morphological/ontological fluidity through a series of bizarre incidents – actual or imagined – whose common thread is the ingestion and embodiment of plastic by living beings (fish, frogs) that end up mutating, as well as the appearance of a host of amorphous masses in natural settings (meadows, lakes).
