Medusa

“Medusa” is a sculpture comprising a bronze body and rubber ‘braids,’ and referring to the well-known myth of Medusa, but also to the femicide of Kyra Frosini and 17 other women in Lake Pamvotida, Ioannina, by Ottoman governor Ali Pasha. Designed to be in direct contact with water, the sculpture takes shape from the movement of the ‘tentacle braids’ and borrows its color from the algae. A video narrative is projected on a screen, with its images alluding to vulnerability and horror, memory and oblivion, and the passage of time.

The work is commissioned by Onassis Stegi for the “Plásmata ΙΙ: Ioannina” exhibition.
