Petratou's work focuses on concepts of place, location, mobility and identity. As photographer and video artist she embraces the fluidity of the mediums' properties to document the raw and real and contrastingly also to stage and style the less real.

I Still Hate Thatcher is based on photographic material taken in the streets of Athens, Greece. The photographs depict a mix of grafiti, written text and posters in public spaces whose focus alternates between political, social, football related and love messages.
The work re-approapriates these messages by combining images in a double projection to re-tell the story of a city in a non-linear manner.
