EURIPIDES LASKARIDIS
Titans
-
Two lonely creatures in a dark celestial circus contemplate existence and endless time
In an undefined emptiness, a cosmic being of unclear gender sways gently on a swing. Forehead large, belly swollen, impregnating a child or just ideas. Omnipotent and always there, from before the beginning. Immortal, and restless. Ever in need of a companion: an imperceptible presence, a shadow-figure who slips through the surrounding darkness to make this peculiar cosmos spin.Where RELIC was a domestic scene, a mortal in a terrestrial world after the end of reason, TITANS opens up an alien space, with gods inhabiting a metaphysical realm in a time before reason. A prequel to the sequel.
If anything, TITANS pays tribute to every failed attempt — be it personal or collective — to embody a flawless archetype, an unbroken self, a world immaculate.
