Dripping totem 

 

Mixed media, variable dimensions

Ex-machina, Tsalapata Museum, Volos, 2009

 

The site-specific installation "Dripping Totem" was created in November 2009, as a reference point to the project "Ex-machina" that took place in the Museum Tsalapata from November 2009 to June 2010. Artists have been invited to create in situ installations in relation to the space inspired by its factory identity and original function. Concepts such as mechanical movement, chain production, transition from one state to another, were the central axis on which participants moved. 

Dripping Totem consists of suspended materials and objects, processed and assembled through chained transitions, and owns its name to a visitor, who successfully likened it to a three-dimensional Jackson Pollock. From that point of view, "Dripping Totem" can be defined as a set of solid paint drops.
