Based on the Kafka’s book The Castle and at the same time responding to the current developments in the political scene in Greece, this performance is identified as a system itself, ruled by ambiguous and controversial values.
The stability and consistence of a beton brut tower is mirroring two opposed situations: the safe and powerful self in one hand reflecting the achievements of the past - the inability to move and to develop through constant change and evolution on the other, revealing the unborn future. These row solid structures standing next to the artist and on her unfold the grey area of every idea not able to become praxis.
Description: After sitting for an hour in front of her installation, the artist removed the wooden molds in order for her beton brut modern castles to appear. She then took off her own pans and placed her feet inside the empty molds in front of her. She blended the rapid fix cement with water and casted her feet inside them. Another human castle appeared. When the cement dried out she removed the molds from her feet and walked away with the weight constantly making it more and more difficult for her to move.
Materials: Cement, Water, Wooden molds
