‘KAIROS’

JULIDANS ITA Salon, 2022

Dimension:  variable

Material: textile / metal wire, acrylic paint, reflective pigment, soundscape, 6 beamers, theater lamps, reflective dance floor, beanbags

From the shore of a mountain lake, I observed the mirror image of the surroundings in the water.

I turned a captured image of this reflection 90 degrees, discovering natural totems,

portals to hidden worlds and fire-dragons.

This was my Kairos, as the ancient Greeks referred to a proper or opportune time for action.

Since 2019, KAIROS has been growing into different shapes and sizes, together with the video and the soundscape. Though it’s made of metal, it develops in an extremely organic way, it’s an expanding universe, a sort of industrial mycelium - it has a life of its own.
