Demi Kromidellis' work questions whether she is able to truly connect to the weight her ethnicity holds as a third-generation Australian. She applies an archival approach to themes of cultural loss, displacement, death and immortality through the use of photographs, oral histories, handwritten text and inherited objects. The intricacies of the archives physicality and contents are re-photographed and enlarged through the darkroom process, these are then pieced together in an attempt to make sense of the past lived experiences of her ancestors. Despite the generational effect of cultural customs and stories being lost as time progresses, Demi utilises the limited sources indicative of her Greek background to connect to her cultural identity. However, these fragmented realities of what life once was for her ancestors often lead to more questions rather than answers.
