This installation (shown in the video) is a way of storytelling through experience. The character Mephisto (Mephistophelis) symbolizes freedom and the notion of rioting against authority, like Lucifer in Milton’s poem, Paradise Lost (1667). While the visitor moves through the installation space, he/she follows up the story in a labyrinth while trying to find the exit. In the story Mephisto tries to escape from Hades and subsequently travels from Helsinki to Athens trying to find the man/vessel that will give him corporeality. Hades is not a hell of tortures, but empty and boring. Eridanus, the vaporous passage from the darkness of Hades to the white labyrinth connects the imaginary (book) with the real (fotographs) as Eridanus exists as the northern river of Hades in mythology, a constellation in astronomy, and a river which flowed where the Baltic Sea is now in geology, a river with three different aspects. The continuous sonic stimuli, some recorded in the specific areas where the photo-shoot was made, are reproduced from hidden sound systems producing an association between the visual, space, time and the visitor.Michail AdamisNO COPYRIGHT Less
