MYTHOLOGY-INSPIRED
—
In a world where myths, legends and stories are passed down through generations and twist and change as they do, certain elements stay with us. In these images, I invite you to remember what you can of the original myths but also allow your mind to drift and alter the stories to make new ones. Let yourself build your own interpretation of the tales.

The evening has come. Revealing traces of a lingering folktale. The fragments are unpredictable as they show themselves rarely. But now the light exposes their shapes, and this time one of them got caught in the net. Something feels off, like a hiccup in the flow. A storm is creating, not in the sky but in the very heart of the ground, unfurling, absorbing and eventually sinking the land.

Any mythological system has rituals of binding and unbinding at the heart of it, tying and untying of threads. This is a story about making and breaking ties, the push and pull of intimacy and the void between.

The myth of Circe is told in Homer's Odyssey, known for transforming men into pigs through the use of magic, potions and herbs. The film explores the moment Circe falls on Aiaia island when banned and exiled for eternity by her father. This moment of falling becomes a terrain for collective female existential questions and it becomes a multi-sensorial intimate dance with oneself and nature.

The series of works is a kind of interpretation of the myth of Sisyphus, which personifies hard but useless work. According to the philosophy of A. Camus, instead of running away from the absurd, a person can accept it. It is the awareness of the absurdity of fate that gives Sisyphus freedom through the rejection of hope and acceptance of his own condition.

In mythos, Mavkas are frequently linked with the transition from the realm of the living to that of the deceased, embodying a connection between these two states. They serve as spirits of youthful females, bridging the living and the departed. This symbolic representation unveils the bond between human life and the surrounding environment, emphasizing the perpetual cycle of existence and demise that permeates all being.

The work 'No More Evil', is an evocative exploration inspired by the culture of the past. Golzio imagines an ancient Greek oracle foretelling the end of all evil.

This self-portrait was inspired by the myth of Hades and Persephone, and created during the pandemic lockdown. The photographer explored the themes of confinement and isolation, drawing inspiration from Persephone's confinement to the underworld. The photographer created the costume, makeup and headdresses along with the improvised lighting that consisted of a hot shoe flash and lighting equipment made with materials such as styrofoam, aluminium foil, household bulbs, tripods, and a lot of scotch tape.

Fuzzy liaisons Moving bodies in the dark. Stories about a Garden of Eden, sin and innocence, the potential to fluidly move from shining to shade, strata of cerebral matter. Life of abundance, then forfeiture, fruits of paradise in decay. Fuzzy frontiers between description and evocation. Voluptuousness of the night, viscous sensuality, far-flung webs of colors, the utmost ends of human gaze, until nothing's left to see. Nothing is real? Inspired by Hieronymous Bosch's „Garden of Earthly Delights“ and the poem „Wild Strawberries“ by Robert Graves.
