Abstract The hypnotic repetition of passages between white containers in the refugee camp in Eleonas, in Athens, heightens the temporality experienced by the refugees in the camp – a sense of life in temporary suspension or perpetual deferment. Passage Variations uses seven images taken from a film that documents the passageways in the camp and their variation owed to human inhabitation. The stills are accompanied by a textual collage of immigrants’ testimonies, literary excerpts on the subject of migration and some instances in the history of the area as a notional edge of the city. The linear, arduous and open-ended migrant journey is contrasted to the monotonous and closed spatial experience of the camp. The essay that follows reflects on these accounts and negotiates the temporal and geographical distance between them – a newly found space of tolerance amid reconciled fragments of histories, experience and collective memory.

段落变化：Eleonas 移民的椭圆历史

摘要 雅典埃莱纳斯难民营中白色容器之间的通道催眠式重复，增强了难民营中难民所经历的时间性——一种暂时暂停或永久推迟的生活感。Passage Variations 使用了从一部影片中拍摄的七幅图像，该影片记录了营地中的通道及其因人类居住而产生的变化。剧照还附有移民证词的文字拼贴、关于移民主题的文学摘录以及该地区作为城市边缘的历史实例。线性的、艰巨的、开放式的移民之旅与营地单调封闭的空间体验形成鲜明对比。
