Kipu II

Mixed media, variable dimensions

Common view, National Theater, Athens, 2008

​

Eleni Kotsoni creates two sculptures on the ceilings of the entrances of the National Theatre. The title refers to the Inkas' sculptural writing “Quipu” that contains ciphered threads and knots in various colours. Similarly, Kipu I & II contain hidden messages written on wood, paper and fabric. From this perspective, the sculptures are also object-texts and emphasise the writing’s body.
