Antonis Pittas creates site-specific installations. His works converse with the architecture, with art history, 'the performativity' of installation art and its social dynamics. In common with most of his pieces, which evolve over an extended period of time and always in conjunction with a specific site, is an installation specially made for the ramp at the Pireos Street Annexe of the Benaki Museum.
Pittas emphasizes the geometry of the building’s framework, adding TL-type lamps to it in order to alter the way in which a viewer perceives the space. These lamps create a vertical grid that renders the building’s façade transparent and transforms the space into a stage in a way that contrasts with the diagonal movement of a visitor going up the ramp thus creating an unprecedented visual experience.
