Within the context of the doctoral project ‘Towards Vera’, I will create an essay film and develop a moving image methodology in between documentary film and archaeological theory, the two main fields of my expertise. My research departs from a random encounter, the diary of a young woman called Vera, dating back to 1961, which I found in the streets of my neighborhood, in the center of Athens. Much like a contemporary archaeological find, ...
Loops are omnipresent in contemporary visual culture, from installation art to online media and digital interfaces. By contextualizing visual loops from a cross-disciplinary perspective, the proposed PhD project aims to explain their compelling nature and ongoing success across different media ecologies. Loops often involve animation, an art form which is rooted in loops through pre-cinematic devices. On both a theoretical and practice based ...

Fieldwork: data generation
The archaeological partners wish to upgrade and extend the computational hard- & software and photographic equipment, documenting excavation. In case of survey and remote sensing, available instruments need upgrading and extending, in particular the radar (GPR) equipment and the capacities for earth resistance measurements and low altitude remote sensing (UAV). Subsurface surveying requires a mobile ...

The import of Iranian bitumen into the Persian Gulf during the late third- and second millennium B.C. may be considered as ...

The Berbers use their defended granaries to store their harvests and precious goods. Such granaries were generally built apart from the village on an easy and naturally defended site.
