Fragments of Urban Encounters Larissa: An Archipelago of Social Condensers is an abstract plaster model that functions as a performative research tool developed as part of the artist’s diploma thesis. The existing urban model of Larissa serves as a medium to investigate the flows of consumption that organise the urban fabric, while also becoming a field of transformation through fragments of the city itself.

Through the fragmentation and reassembly of the urban model, new social condensers and forms of collective coexistence emerge. Through projection, a new spatial cardinality is inscribed onto the fragmented city, generating alternative paths and relationships that shift urban dynamics away from the logic of spatial consumption toward experience, interaction and social production.

The work explores the invisible dynamic flows that shape the city. Just as water networks, infrastructures and ecological processes operate beneath the surface of the visible urban landscape, flows of consumption, leisure and culture silently determine the form, use and evolution of the city. The model proposes the city as a continuously transforming system, where new relationships, experiences and forms of collective action can redefine urban space.
