Hamaca는 테살로니키와 비엔나 예술가들과 문화 교류하며 만들어진 설치작품 입니다. Hamaca는 유연하고 변화 무쌍한 구조로 이루어져있으며 이러한 구조를 전시 관람자가 자연스럽게 움직이면서 힐링 에너지를 만들어 낼 수 있습니다. Hamaca의 무지개 색은 행복의 감정과 예술 치유의 감정을 불러일으킬 수 있습니다. 모양이 균일하지 않은 Hamaca의 형태는 남중유럽과 중부유럽을 이동하는 긴 여정의 이미지와 키워드를 특징으로 하고 있습니다.
HAMACA-an alternative hammock for KIDS LAB
After an intercultural meeting between artists of Thessaloniki, my native city, and Vienna, where I’m also resident, I invented Hamaca, a floor mounted installation, on which all impressions and impacts of that exchange have been registered. Hamaca’s rotating view on display, that points into different directions, and its flexible, changeable structure enable viewers, flâneurs, children to spread its pieces over the area and to release them into the air… so, it can be naturally imbued with healing energy when activated…, it can evoke emotions of happiness by gazing upon its rainbow colours… acts of freedom and sublimation have always accompanied my concepts and my special affinity with art healing at all. Like a real hammock it ‘s liable to unexpected, accidental moves, even by weather change.
Hamaca’s pieces, unequally shaped, feature nebulous images and keywords on the surface, issued from its long journey through South and Central Europe-it has been shown at Künstlerhaus Vienna and Museum of Byzantine culture Thessaloniki. Probably, the hammock will reach its final destination in a few days… there, in Seoul, ..it will lose its consistency and disappear…, even if I intend to engage Korean children in making it alive,in painting and remodeling on it and on supplementary pieces of it…. Once again,Hamaca will connect people ,they don’t know each other with customs and locations,remind us on following a ‘new’ geography of mental dimension at least…
