Luminous Strays
Poster design and typography for “Luminous Strays” and exhibition by Efi Spyrou.
“Luminous Strays is an immersive installation composed of seven woven panels suspended at various heights within a dim, ecclesiastical space. Made of black fabric and high-reflective tape, the works remain nearly invisible until activated by light—through a flash, a camera lens, or a moving beam. When illuminated, hybrid creatures, emblems, and forms emerge as fleeting presences that hover between recognition and disappearance.
The work explores notions of visibility and concealment, identity and estrangement, the embodied and the ephemeral. Drawing inspiration from the archaeological and folkloric landscape of Agrigento—where different cultures and myths have intertwined over centuries—Luminous Strays reflects on multiplicity and transformation beyond fixed definitions of self and other.
As viewers move through the space, light and darkness coexist and exchange roles. Meaning unfolds through motion and attention, turning perception into an act of discovery. The installation becomes a living field of metamorphosis, where illumination is not contrast but recognition—a quiet dialogue between presence and absence, human and non-human, night and day. ”
— Excerpt from the curatorial text by Danae Parlamas Pertejo.
