Living room
- Park of Nea Smyrni / Ionian Festival / 2020
Curated by Jenny Tsoumpri (Tidal Flow Art)
Christina-Sylvia Simantira creates out of the shell of colored, useless, plastic pots a hanging living room. The pots are becoming useless, they get recomposed and form a flat surface, that re- creates one side of a piece of furniture, like a hanging poster, without any functional value.
Our home, the place where we live, our “living-room”, our planet, is not only a good-looking frame, that we shape according to our needs. The shell is as important as the content.
The environmental ethics are, even nowadays still searching to find out which position in the hierarchy of the priorities of the contemporary human it takes. For him it doesn’t seem obvious to show respect towards himself and his cohabitants on this planet-home. The dangerous behavior towards the environment affects negatively not only our “living room”, but also all its habitants , which means ourselves, our fellow human beings, the nature and all the living species.
