Persephone stumbled
Persephone stumbled, 2022
Wood, concrete, lighting
Variable Dimensions
The site of Persephone’s abduction by Pluto is located in a crude wooden oblong
building—part of the Olive Mill’s factory zone—a section of which protrudes into the void. At this point, the association of the myth with the cycle of the land’s fertility within the industrial ruins is reshaped and reformulated. The imprint of the gesture of the ascent and descent of Demeter’s daughter finds correspondences with the storage of industrial products and the cycle of production.
