Schelling points out that “unheimlich is the name for everything which ought to have remained...hidden and secret but has become visible”.
According to Freud, desire is the subject’s yearning for a fundamentally lost object.
Babies are looking for their breastfeeding mother.
A part-object, a breast-machine, a part of the body of another subject.
A first contact, an addictive relationship, a bond.
Maybe this is the model of any love affair.
A duality. A transmitter and a receiver.
During maturation, these roles necessarily alternate during the interactions between different subjects.
Utopian exchanges of equivalent relationships that may conflict with the need to restore lost happiness of the mammalian relationship.
The flow of milk, the touch, the verbalization of thoughts and feelings translated into skin.
An woven skin that creates an evolving garment.
A semi-translucent veil that structures the body and identity of the subject through himself and his reflections.
I wear my memories in 800 meters of thread.
Presented at the exhibition “Emfylo-ποιείν. to construct the gender” at a.antonopoulou gallery, curated by George Kalivis, March-September 2019.
