🌸 In 2021 am avut placerea de a face parte din capitolul al treilea al NeoNlitic.
Lucrarea e realizata din mai multe straturi de placa de mousse care inglobeaza spoturi de led.
Proiectul propus se bazeaza pe sanctuarul vechi de 6.000 de ani, din perioada Neoliticului, descoperit in anii 1970 la Parta, judetul Timis.
Intinderea de 11.5 metri prezinta doua incaperi: Camera altarului si Camera de ofranda/sacrificiu. In cea dintai se afla o statuie monumentala inchinata dihotomiei viata-moarte, respectiv fertilitate-efemeritate. Unitatea androgina este formata din figura zoomorfa - boul (masculin) - si figura antropomorfa feminina. Pe langa arhetipul pe care il reprezinta, se presupune ca ar fi reprezentarea zeitatilor egiptene Apis si Isis.
Dat fiind faptul ca Apis uneori il inlocuieste pe Osiris in iconografia si mitologia egipteana si, de asemenea, cele doua sunt denumiri grecesti ale celor doi zei, este o dovada clara a migratiei, cat si a universalitatii religiei la nivel global.
In 2021, I had the pleasure of taking part in the third chapter of NeoNlitic.
The piece is made out of more layers of foamboard that embraces LED-spots.
The project proposed is based on the 6.000 hundred years old Neolithic sanctuary discovered in the 1970’s in Parța, Romania.
The rectangular 11,5 m long sanctuary presents two rooms: The Altar Room and The Offering Room. In the first one, there is one monumental statue of the dichotomy of life and death, respectively fertility and ephemerality. The androginous unity is formed out of a masculine bull-figure and a feminine one. Besides the archetype they represent, they are thought to be the gods Apis and Isis.
Due to the fact that Apis, sometimes, replaces Osiris in the Egyptian iconography and mythology, and that they are really the Greek names for the two gods, are proof of migration and the universality of religion worldwide.
The NeoNlitic exhibition is organized by Wood Be Nice and supported by the team composed by Mihaela Ion (curator), Anca Spiridon (communication and promotion), Cristina Elena Florea (editor and social media) and Cora Manole (editor).
