Pericles, Funeral Oration, 2016, strips of paper, glue, 16 drawings 40cmx30cm each, installalation view from solo show Typo at Kalfayan Gallery Athens, 2016

             
                 
 

 

The work Pericles, Funeral Oration comprises 16 drawings, where I have used each page of the ancient text: I cut it into strips, deconstructed it in order to re-constitute it in a random way which makes the text indecipherable. The choice of text and its deconstructionn-reconstruction refers to the uses-methods of human perception and it is an investigation of the ways in which we define our identity and historical past, its essence and image.
