The compromise is a sculptural seat presented in the solo show HOME, Athens. Alessia De Pasquale opens the doors to a residential apartment, presented as an artefact, and the renovation is the result of a yearlong collaboration between De Pasquale and the pioneering Greek architect, Dionisis Sotovikis. The apartment also becomes a stage for a new body of works by De Pasquale. Each series explores different notions of home and belonging, moving from personal memories to collective ideas of home and belonging as a physical and psychological space. 

​

The exhibition's fundamental question is how do we find a sense of home within ourselves, beyond the bricks and mortar of a house?
