The audiovisual work "Paralysis by Analysis" presents a combined experience that unfolds in two chapters of two and three dimensions respectively. Initially, it is a two-layered audio-reactive visual piece influenced by the musical composition being played. Subsequently, we transition into three dimensions where we observe a system of particles being born, evolving, and dying, while simultaneously, the musical piece has transformed into a hypnotic drone. With this piece, Evangelos attempts to narrate and describe the phenomenon and psychological burden of information overload, a process in which we continuously receive stimuli and data that we try to process and assimilate. For this purpose, we borrow the term "Paralysis by Analysis," an economics studies term, which expresses a disturbance in thinking, the process of information processing, and ultimately the inability to make decisions due to the enormous volume of data we receive. According to this terminology, a person, unable to analyze the entirety of the options available to them (due to the abundance of information), struggles to make decisions and choose the appropriate option for them. The variables are too many, and the person buckles under their weight, unable to balance and analyze them. The work has been created in the environment of visual programming TouchDesigner, and the musical piece is derived from Evangelos's personal discography.

The compositional method is based on the incorporation of sound material of cultural background into an electroacoustic piece. By drawing a linear narration, my aim was to demonstrate a unity, an imaginary community, which characterizes the Romani culture, despite the hybridic, complicated and diverse traditions deriving from the various European and Asian countries its people live in. A central question behind the making of this piece is what kind of role can a civilization have today, when the concept of space is eliminated by time- a key element in the dynamics of capitalism. What are the cultural consequences of the so-called annihilation of time and space, as materialized and tangible dimensions of social life? Are historical tradition and the search for roots promoted and reorganized as simulacra, imitations or/and museum culture, thourgh the demonstration of a partly deceptive past?

A freediver transforms into water while he dives beneath the surface, connects with nature and becomes a part of the underwater environment by hunting like a marine predator.
The mesmerizing underwater world is accessible to those who overcome fear and dare to push their human limits a little further in order to explore it. The passion with the serene world beneath the surface becomes a lifestyle for those who surrender themselves to negative buoyancy.

Τhis piece refers to a suffocating relationship between a father and a son. This oppressive relationship is expressed by the father’s obsessive calls to the son to come and eat his food warm. The son lives in an imperative rhythm of breakfast/lunch/dinner with few getaways because his father never stops calling him, while having a piercing voice. The father lives in a rhythm of constant orthostatic food production. A very elastic son, a very rigid father. A piece of wood, also rigid, who attracts the son. She had been washed by the sea. The highest boiling temperature is at sea-level. Splashing and seething became one. Apnea and immersion in his father’s pot, which is the symbol of his influence, eventually are leading to his release. He tightened so tight on her that for the first time he was stabilised. They were swept away from the waves and while floating they turned into furniture.
