The taboo teller
We'll meet again
Mixed media, variable dimensions
Kunsthalle Athena, Athens, 2015
The title of the performative installation The Taboo teller refers to an imaginary person that shares unspeakable stories. The artwork involves the procedure of frantically building and re-building a semi-suspended construction consisting of juxtaposed fragments. Paintings, drawings, papers, fabrics and threads are connected with the sculptured three-dimensional part of the space. It’s as if an urgent extrinsic requirement would spontaneously command this creation, ignoring causality, up and down boundaries, inner and outer space. A spontaneous process of weaving expresses how canvases are expanded into space, like a painting where viewers can get in.
