The revenge of Arachni
Installation in the form of a web made of silk thread set in a disused enamel factory on the island of Kea, Greece. Referencing the Greek myth of Arachni which tells the story of the maiden extremely talented in the art of weaving, who was condemned when challenging the goddess Athena in this art.
Athena having herself invented weaving was furious and transformed Arachni into a spider. A curse was put on her to be weaving beautiful webs forever, which would always be destroyed. The installation was created to reverse the curse and form a continuously growing web within an abandoned half destroyed building.
