Bringing back to the collective memory emotionally charged monuments, reconstructs the predominant narration with counter-monument aesthetics. Charged with emotions of nations, of destruction, of salvation and death, public monuments often function as a fundamental identity indicator onto which collective emotions and conflicting social standards are projected.
Employing the technique of photogrammetry, the monuments have been fragmented and recreated in a virtual version which is intangible, see-through, empty.
The virtual space has been constructed with references to monuments in Athens and Paris, such as the equestrian statue of Karaiskaki in Zappeion and Jeanne dArc at the Place des Pyramides etc.
Rowing Lessons brings us face to face with a new interpretation of the reality of the world and its objects where natural law has been recreated.
With the support of ASFA-Paris8 Greek-postgraduate Program, "Art, virtual reality and multiuser systems of artistic expression"
