UNDYING HOME

At the installation in Xiamen, Legakis in collaboration with Lin Xiuqing used bamboos as frames for the photos and also bamboos on a concrete terrace reaching seven meters high in the sky that represent not only the nature itself within a material city but also the connection between earth and sky; what the human body unites.

Home is usually seen as a fixed architectural and limited place. Undying Home is the feeling of home that arises from within by an interaction with nature, with any-body at any-place connecting from a heart space. We are truly at home in our hearts when we feel and connect with our ‘SOMA’ which in Greek means the poised union between the Body, Mind, Heart and Spirit.

Being inspired by dance practice he captured dynamic moving and static photos that portray the space beyond the real, beyond what is tangible, so as to depict the spiritual or the energetic aspect of Nature, Body and Home. The engraved poem and paintings on bamboo show the space beyond body and mind, the spiritual aspect of the human kind who is able now to start a new beginning in a world that is currently passing through challenges.

The bamboos on a concrete terrace were reaching high in the sky almost 7 mtr. This installation represents not only the nature itself within a material city but also the connection between earth and sky; what the human body unites as well. The audience had to walk through the bamboos and look up in the sky the photos that were passed through the bamboos.
