Lola Nikolaou Gallery presents Dimitris Ameladiotis’ solo exhibition Rhythms & Rituals of Cohabitation, a mapping of material traces resulting from performances, narratives, lived experiences, fantasies, and collective rituals. Assemblage reconstructions, spatial interventions, and paintings appear as remnants of stories that persist in time: they function as starting points and reminders of narratives that are not constructed linearly, but unfold fragmentarily, cyclically, and polyrhythmically.

In this field, storytelling is not treated as representation, but as a process that is constantly being reactivated. Drawing on oral tradition and the logic of performance traces, D. Ameladiotis approaches storytelling as an embodied and relational practice, where meaning does not pre-exist, but emerges through pauses, missteps, and shifts. Mistakes, chance, and contingency function as productive conditions for narration, allowing stories to remain open, fluid, and collective; they are more vehicles of experience and memory than closed narratives.

Although the performances do not take place in the exhibition space, the works carry their narratives as material remnants of live actions. They function as objects of memory that activate the collective imagination, drawing on invisible information stored deep within our physicality and the relationships we form with one another. Through them, the exhibition creates a space where stories, bodies, and materialities coexist, proposing storytelling as an act of care, transmission, and survival; a common space of coexistence where stories do not belong to a creator, but circulate, mutate, and continue to be told.

Opening hours: Tue, Thu, Fri: 12:00 p.m. – 8:00 p.m. / Wed, Sat: 12:00 p.m. – 3:00 p.m.
