Kathe Mia Istoria / Marina Velisioti: Temple of Transmission
interactive sculptural installation
Temple of Transmission is an interactive sculptural installation, the result of a collaboration between the organization Kathe Mia Istoria [Each One Story] and visual artist Marina Velisioti.
At its core is a metal loom, made of unorthodox materials, which bridges the materiality of the feminine tradition with the intangible richness of the lived experience. The loom acts as a transmitter: from its fibers emerge women’s voices, which are transported through headphones to seats arranged in a circle around the installation.
The narratives point the eye to the micro-scale of everyday life, highlighting the female experience as a central axis. Like a modern-day handiwork that invites people to gather around it, the installation creates a place of attention and togetherness.
Visitors are invited to sit down, listen to stories that rarely find their way to a public podium, and weave their personal meaning through these narratives. Individual listening is transformed into a collective experience, in which the audience forms a temporary community, an alliance around the act of joint listening.
