Necrophania

2019 Installation Steel, 50x130x250cm part of 2023, “NON VOLANTILE” (group show), Amphicar studio, Athens, Greece

Is a steel installation of vomited fish out of a big one.

Necrophania (suspended animation) is the state of a person characterized by a temporary pause or slowing down of his biological functions, so as to give the impression that he is dead.

Death becomes an impermanent situation into a looking moment of complete end. The big fish eats the small and the world is going on, when everything is still alive. Fish are cold-blooded, not driven by passion, and often represent such emotionless entities. The work aims to express the agony of asphyxiation during the Anthropocene epoch.
