Enari Gallery presents a new exhibition from 28 February that will be festively opened in the presence of the artist from 17:00 to 20:00. In FERAL NOM, Dimitris Tampakis creates renewal through fragmentation. Cracks in the system are not just weak spots, but rather openings-they show where something fails, while at the same time allowing new energy to be released. It is where man reclaims his body as a means of expression, free from the pressure of imposed rules. Here one finds vulnerability and resistance, and control is rejected. What remains is a deeper, instinctive connection.

For Tampakis, changes are never linear. They dismantle artificial constructs and uncover connections beyond systems of power. Trust becomes the foundation of this new way of life, and uncertainty is the only constant. His work embraces this leap into the unknown. Tampakis sees chaos not as a problem, but as an opportunity to build something new. His work emphasizes the fragility of systems that suppress this chaos while celebrating its inner life force.

Connectedness, according to Tampakis, is not about origin or tradition, but about shared experiences, trust and openness to the unknown. Inspired by neo-tribal theories, he imagines a group formed not by rules or control, but by interdependence. This “new tribe” rejects today’s sterile and predictable world, in which everything revolves around control and commerce. Instead, it embraces chaos as a strength and sees uncertainty not as a threat but as a source of confidence.

FERAL NOM is a meeting place for this group, a space where safety is not enforced but arises naturally as people surrender to the unknown. Each shared movement-whether it is a physical action, a glance or a shared risk-reinforces the bond between them. This creates a deeper way of being together apart from institutions or rules. The exhibition space itself becomes a place where the body can reclaim its freedom.
