Symplexis
Pafos, Cyprus, 2021

Το έργο αυτό αποτελείτε από 5 πήλινα γλυπτά που στο εσωτερικό τους υπάρχουν ηχητικές πηγές. Από τα γλυπτά αυτά δύο έχουν αυστηρές γραμμές, γεωμετρικά σχήματα που συμβολίζουν την λογική και το ανδρικό φύλο, ενώ τα άλλα δύο έχουν ελεύθερες μορφές, οργανικές, αρχετυπικές και συμβολίζουν την γυναικεία φύση. Το πέμπτο μορφικά κατέχει και τα δύο χαρακτηριστικά αλλά απέχει από το είναι ο συγκερασμός τους. Ο ήχος είναι συντονισμένος και αποτελεί μια συνολική σύνθεση ήχων μουσικής και φωνής. Ο ήχος κυκλοφορεί από γλυπτό σε γλυπτό δημιουργώντας μια ρευστή κατάσταση, μια κίνηση στον χώρο που έρχεται σε αντίθεση με την στατικότητα των γλυπτών. Ένας από τους πιο χαρακτηριστικούς ήχους είναι ένα μοιρολόι. Το έργο αυτό χρησιμοποιεί παραδοσιακά, γήινα υλικά και αναπαράγει την παραδοσιακή κοινωνική διαδικασία του πένθους, προσεγγίζοντας και επαναπροσδιορίζοντας την διαριγμένη πια σχέση μας με τον θάνατο.
This work consists of 5 clay sculptures with sound sources inside them. Two of these sculptures have strict lines, geometric shapes that symbolize logic, while the other two have free forms, organic, archetypal. The fifth formally possesses both characteristics but is far from being the fusion of them. The sound is coordinated and is an overall synthesis of musical and vocal sounds. The sound circulates from sculpture to sculpture creating a fluid state, a movement in space that contrasts with the static nature of the sculptures. One of the most characteristic sounds is a dirge. This work uses traditional, earthy materials and reproduces the traditional social process of mourning, approaching and redefining our now-discussed relationship with death.
