sweeter and lower contains some of the remnants of untitled (sweet and low), a work presented during appendage, Iris Touliatou’s solo exhibition at Grazer Kunstverein in 2022. untitled (sweet and low) was the result of having transformed the old, left-over stationery of the Grazer Kunstverein— half white / half red—into a pink pulp, which then was scattered over the floors of the building. By shredding the stationery with a blender, a pink fluff emerged from the transactional paper that in a former life used to transmit official communication, invoices, announcements, etc. sweeter and lower gathers fragments of that action and compresses them into a plexiglass box. Contained and preserved, the left-overs of what once was whole meet again and are turned into a vivid chromatic picture in hues of pink.

Old Town Street (towards Photo Net) depicts the expressive painting of a female nude displayed in a framer’s shop window and is layered with the reflection of Nicosia’s old town. Resembling the processing and the becoming of an image, the analog photograph was shot at a close distance to Photo Net, Toumazou’s local photography store, where her pictures are developed and printed. The photograph is part of a series of 26 pictures resulting from numerous walks through Toumazou’s hometown. The series appeared for the first time in R, C, the publication that accompanied RHYTHM, CITIZEN, Toumazou’s solo exhibition at Grazer Kunstverein in 2022. One of them is now available as an exclusive artist’s edition.
