“Each one of us is necessary, is a part of fate, belongs to the whole, is within the whole, there is nothing that can judge, measure, compare or condemn our “being”, because such a thing would mean that he would judge, measure, compare or condemn the whole.” (1)

The installation is part of the Let The Children Talk action, it was designed and implemented as a whole, in the specific space, following as main axes the concept of gesture, ephemerality, site-specificity and spatio-temporality.

The artwork is constantly redefined until its final stage of realization and its final visual form, giving time and space to the artistic process, to the coming together, to the concept of freedom and “randomness” in relation to a given artistic initial structure. The rhythm of the composition comes from elements of gesture and expressionism during the performance of the work in the space – site specific installation.
The visual environment is reduced to a living organism – moving parts – that breathes, evolves and changes according to the environment it belongs to. It follows the architectural structure, the physiognomy, the color and tonal condition of the physical point – Wireless/ Building 1- and is connected to it, in a unifying and gentle way. The outbreaks and recessions of the general composition concern repetition, visibility, partial or total depending on the point of view. The optical illusions that are deliberately caused dissolve and recompose the functions of the images – Marios Lolos – and the semiotics of the theme, with the intention of creating the experience for the viewer.

The installation does not definitively belong here, nor there. It belongs to a set that contracts and expands without following a prescribed way.
