Softcover, the three books held together with a paper band, printrun 300 copies. Design by Nikos Kachrimanis, Loopo Studio. Texts by Nikos Kachrimanis, illustrated texts by Ovid and Petronius.
Four divine Furies, or madnesses, exist according to Plato: Prophesy, the Mysteries, Poetry and Love. In Phaedrus, Socrates explains how these Furies can act as mediators for the human soul in the pursuit for growing again its lost wings. But is this plausible? Is it possible that the Furies fail us?
In the “Divine Furies Trilogy”, the Fury of Poetry, or else the arts, is applied in order to approach the other three. We follow their manifestations in respective abstracts from Ovid's and Petronius’ texts where corresponding stories are recounted. A 19th century English translation of the Latin text is illustrated by collages of contemporary photographs, relying on the potential of photography to depict a dimension of reality where the Furies abide.
For the Fury of Prophesy in “The Oracle”, Sibyl, a personification of the Western World, is reciting her story of sexual blackmail by collages of photographs taken in a time-span of seven years starting 2008, either on the places of residence (Athens and Berlin) or during trips around Europe (Greece, Germany, the Netherlands, France, Switzerland, Austria, Hungary, the Czech Republic, Italy, the UK, Spain, Portugal) and California, USA. For the Fury of the Mysteries in “The Rescue”, we witness the cascade of events unfolding as a rape gets revealed. The collages here are digitally composed as combinations of photographs from my photographic archive from the years 2016 and 2017, a time when mobility in life had receded. In “The Wedding Night”, the Fury of Love is court-martialled, awaiting to be sentenced. The illustrations for this story are made of photographs shot between 2008 and 2019, encompassing the time spans of the previous two books.
