Excommunication – ALCHEMICAL STRUCTURE OF THE CROSS

Multimedia installation ALCHEMICAL STRUCTURE OF THE CROSS, tries to examine, map and problematize the reading of the layering of one of the most widespread symbols in the history of the civilization.

The focus is placed on the historical-hermetical aspect of the cross, which in this case means that the cross is not being observed as a space-religious, but as a time-archetypical artifact, which is in its own manifestation reading off and generating all of the symbolic meanings in the continuum of the history of the longue durée  (Term used in the historiographical school Annales, whose foremost representative is Fernand Braudel).

This artwork is grounding its manifestation on the formal level through unique reading of the archetype, and at the same time, it is inaugurating its narrative identity through the partial meanings.

The emphasis is laid on the complex process of transmutation between different symbolic values that are incorporated into the structure of the cross, and the interspace which opens for different readings of this work.
