Dimitris Skalkotos

Dimitris Skalkotos, accomplished marble sculptor from the island of Tinos, creates a poem through space, displaying a string of evocative words carved in marble throughout the lower floor of the gallery. The concepts of Light, Eternal, Memory, Woman, Limit, Source, Alone, Sound, Departed, Consistency, Sunset have been selected from a set of poems by psycho-analyst Grigoris Maniadakis titled “Fotagogos”. Together, the words as a sequence form a story whereas their individual shapes stress the deeper meaning of each one of them. The marble interpretations are placed on wooden makeshift pedestals as if the visitor were to walk into the studio of the artist during the hours of labour.

Design based on an idea of file note. Every card contain images of works, images during the process and the poems. This kind of file note is used to record all the details of work during the exhibition.
