Dividing her time between Glasgow and Athens, Rallou Panagiotou is a rising star on the Greek art scene, with many solo exhibitions under her belt and who recently participated in a major group exhibition at Tate Britain in London. Her work often deals with everyday objects and utilitarian forms, which she recasts in precious materials and sometimes exaggerates in size or gives them a shiny finish. A perfect example of her work is a sculpture depicting a plastic straw, which is cast in aluminium and is around three meters long. By creating larger copies of insignificant objects in durable materials often reserved for the production of industrial equipment or high art, Panagiotou monumentalises the everyday, in an attempt to preserve banal forms and gestures in posterity.

Her latest exhibition at Bernier Eliades gallery in Athens continues her exploration into this field, and presents new objects that push her artistic research even further. For Incorporeal Bundles, Panagiotou uses industrial car paint to coat trivial objects, like an ubiquitous chest of drawers by IKEA, and prints inkjet images of clothing on large marble sheets. Both gestures play with the relationship between high and low, the valuable and the disposable, which, as she explains in the exhibition's press release, relates to the idea of the keimélion, "something to be laid away or treasured up". The exhibition also includes a new video by the artist, titled Two-hander, which is a continuation of her previous work with moving image.
