This visual installation attempts to comment on the contemporary socio-political reality in Greece through a poetic and suggestive visual language. The work draws its starting point from a real incident of a financial scandal involving the misuse of financial resources intended for the agricultural sector. During the public debate surrounding the incident, one of the involved used the phrase: “I invoke the right to silence.” This phrase, detached from its original context and without further comment, is transformed into a sound motif in the work. Its repetition functions as a symbolic reference to the silence that often accompanies phenomena of political and economic corruption. The installation uses the head from the ancient Greek statue of Aphrodite of Milos as its central object. The choice of this particular sculpture is not accidental. Aphrodite of Milos is one of the most recognizable symbols of ancient Greek cultural heritage, which is often associated with the concepts of democracy, political thought, and the cultural identity of Greece. In the work, the statue's head is transformed into an interactive object.
When the viewer approaches the sculpture at a distance of approximately 40 centimeters, a motion sensor activates:
In this way, a metaphor is created: the voice comes from a historical symbol of culture and democracy, which, however, only utters a declaration of silence.
