The diptych of Arched Iron Plates celebrates humankind primordial fascination for celestial bodies.
Ancient cultures experienced a world with no distinction in between Astronomy and Astrology; physic and meta-physics: a meticulous and scientific observation would be interpreted in a religious and poetic domain. A view, this one, focused on perceiving and respecting the earth as a whole living system. Macrocosmos is mirrored in microcosmos.
I used materials and geometry connected to planets, especially the iron (present all over in our galaxy) and the circle, because everything in the space moves in elliptical orbits.
The installation is composed by two objects: one piece,“Andromeda's Arch” , and “StarSwing”, hanging from the ceiling.
It represents the constellations I could see from our terrace in Atina during my first residency in 2015.
