The video was created as part of the installation within the exhibition space. In it, two actors, Persefoni Gerangelou and Adam Tompa, read a text written by art writer Hazel Glass. Prior to the exhibition, Hazel received one jewellery piece from the collection and wore it for two days as a source of inspiration. In response, she wrote the exhibition text. Persefoni and Adam then transformed this text into a dialogue, which we filmed and edited. Read the exhibition text by Hazel Glass here.
The Yoko Ono exhibition -Music of the Mind- featured the Grapefruit book, a collection of instructions and drawings by the artist. The exhibition served as a significant inspiration, demonstrating how the audience can be involved and become participants.
The cards were designed especially with this exhibition in mind and aim to achieve a similar experience. They create a safe and playful space where visitors can touch and wear the jewellery and even become guides of the exhibition.
These cards are tools to encourage spending more time with the artwork and suggest
ways to observe and contemplate what is seen.
