ESPACE DE MEMOIRE - ΓΑΙΑ ΜΝΗΜΗΣ The project E.D.M. 526 200X142 cm


ESPACE DE MEMOIRE - ΓΑΙΑ  ΜΝΗΜΗΣ   was created by oneself’ s need to send to the world its own interpretation regarding the way of approaching the truth, by means of an idea expressed by a penetrating action directed from the inside to the outside.It is planned in such a way so that through any external form it can be adjusted to the human subconscious or conscience. In this way, it helps emerging the elements needed to stimulate the person, first to meditate and then to focus on those personal qualities that can lead to conclusions which will act drastically upon him. Therefore, the communication is achieved in a simple and discreet way with both the artist, who acts solely as the  means, and the public which constitutes the reason of its existence, simply by following the path of Memory and searching the mechanisms that govern it. ESPACE DE MEMOIRE  -  ΓΑΙΑ  ΜΝΗΜΗΣ   first appeared on canvas in blue and black colors only, thus indicating the ignorance brought by oblivion and the knowledge brought by memory. My attempt to : interpret : the blue-black gave birth to the text which is conceptually identical to its original form. After that any material or form can be used in order to spread the work in the most condensed way, as possible. An important part of the work is the translation of the text in as many languages as possible, even with errors, which after all are due to the human nature as it stands, and the way of communication as it is developed.

21 words of the ESPACE DE MEMOIRE text, written in 55 + different languages with different colors, are placed in a group of 5-7 words of the same meaning on each panel.
Each panel also bears a certain word in blue-black colors, which is the connecting link of the whole installation.
The design and the placement of the words on each panel is done in an artistic way (color - size) as well as in an mathematical one (Synthesis).
The work evokes the significance of Memory through time and space, which is transformed from material into immaterial one and turns Times Square into an island in the vast sea of a Metropolis.
In the heart of the city, the ESPACE DE MEMOIRE project proves its value, going all the way its cause, revealing aspects that are hidden, using the most important means of the human culture, the language.

The ESPACE DE MEMOIRE project itself is about transformation, the transformation that is brought by means of Art, an art that is familiar and new at the same time. It is classical in structure and contemporary in expression. It is solid as a concept and flexible in forms. It is the identity of the New York Time Square, itself.
