Persephone

 

garments, photo series, book, installation, video

 

 

The work deals with the use of time, as a means
of design, but also in a wider social context.

 

Its starting point is the ancient Greek myth of
Persephone, which revolves around the passage
of time, cyclicity and different human ages, and
to which the origin of many pagan fertility rituals
can be traced.

 

 

 

 

Director: Júlia Szederkényi

Inspired by the book In Praise of
Shadows written by Junichiro Tanizaki the work
provokes reflection on value systems of past and
present times.
