It’s a totally different experience compared to traditional art immortalised in a restricted, limited space separated from the viewer. His work expands in space and reaches the viewer, whether they stand still, walk, or move. The idea that art and viewers occupy and share the same vital space is essential for Antonakos, because he hopes that his work can become part of the most intimate experience of those who look at it and that somehow, whether consciously or not, the feelings and sensations that make us so unique and different from others can merge into a single, deeper perception.
