There Is No Narrative In Water is a project started by Marilena Stavrakidis in 2015. In 2018, Planthouse collaborated with Stavrakidis to publish a limited edition publication of 25 emergency blankets to commemorate her project. The edition includes 2 images, a poem and a USB with a 7 minute and 11 second audio/video piece. The audio is a narration of a young Afghan refugee and his perilous journey from Afghanistan to Greece. The brief breakouts throughout the audio adding up to 1 minute of silence, serves as a commemoration of all the faceless asylum seekers who have lost their lives at sea.

Marilena Stavrakidis is a Greek multidisciplinary artist whose work focuses on sociopolitical issues. Stavrakidis has been awarded the Anthony M. Ruotolo Photojournalism award from the Imaging Alliance Foundation in 2016. She has also been exhibited at the E/AB Fair 2018, Memorial Union Gallery in 2016 and 2018, SVA Chelsea Gallery in 2015 and LOOK 3 Festival 2015. Her approach interweaves text, statistics, images and occasionally audio in order to inform and challenge the viewer. She currently lives and works in New York, NY.
