“I am a Banana Box” revisits OCAD Integrated Media thesis student Alexandra Hazisavvas’ 42 moves throughout her life. A large-scale performance installation done amongst the fleeting inhabitants of Souraren Park from April 11 to 13, Hazisavvas performs 42 moves in 42 hours. Each house constructed out of a simple wooden frame covered in unprimed Canvas. Placed in a grid formation the identical de-saturated white houses appear as ghostly structures. “I am a Banana Box” is a journey exploring identity, isolation and ephemeral spaces. In recovering her past, Alexandra Hazisavvas erects houses like haunting memories reliving each space without attachment.

A graduating student at OCAD, Alexandra Hazisavvas started her career as a photographer, she has since shifted to performative video work and installation. Working primarily with questions of gender, identity and alienation, Alexandra’s work is striking and honest. “I am a Banana Box” has been curated by Kissing Cousin Collective and is Alexandra’s largest and most challenging work to date.
