It was a perfect metaphor for our
shifting perception in the other side of the mirror at that time,
formulating theories on chaos, dispersive structures, fractals in the
catoptric room of the world, immersed in another time duration.This
was the scenery for my threshold performance Persephone on the
rising foundation-stone altar, leaving behind my first earth
installation Chrysalis1.
Digging out of the mud of the altar
Something Essential Missing
Chrysalis installation of mud
biodegradable sphinxes setting once more the Enigma of the Sphinx
redefining human beingness.
A chrysalis on the hellenistic mosaics
in the bottom of the Lake of Mornos 1990
its powerful momentum crashed in
another installation in the precipice Chaos Aghias Triados on the way
to Lavrion, Greece 1990.
Down
in the waters of the Styx, Peloponnese, Kalavrita
and was extended in a polycentric
documented risky installation in 13 special sites all over Greece by
interactor Alex Tsantoulas.
Deep
inside the 1,200 m2 cave of Hermes, at an altitude of 1.750 m on the
slope of mountain Zeria Ano Korithia Peloponese
In the Museum of Modern Art of Joensu
Finland in the PAND conference Meeting of the Worlds 1990, the
project was launched as a
persona-effacing / co-creative geocaching installation, which was
realized in 300 sites in 27 countries
all over the globe through the creative participation of hundreds of
interactors.
The colossal earth
installation soon melted in the rain releasing
the dynamic relational web diagram of its interactοrs'
timelapse arrows, as early as 1990 forecasting the advent of the
webs.
Its
repercussions lasted for the next 25years, under the heading Project
Myth/Network 1990-2015 a
stretched- now experiment on our spatiotemporal shift in
the deep interface of liturgical timelessness and empirical time.
The
polycentric
global interactors' simultaneous documentation in the State
University of Cleveland Ohio, the Municipal Center of Athens....
was
augmented
by a UCT
world -on- the- make libation happening 15-2-1991
in the 27 countries, simultaneously.
"Myth/Network
is a state which is configured as much by the artist as by the
participants in her growing interactive web. It is an open system
that evolves on many ontological levels.. the old system of art
centered on the artist-emitter and the passive audience is
transformed into a living system-network of the international
creative society”.

The village and the hellenistic city
Kalion were reimmersed in 1990 under the waters of the Lake of
Mornos, where they still are.
