Listen to the accompanying poem of the work by the voice of Sofia Hatzoglou

Amusement

This sculpture belongs to the unit “Soul”. It is the second of the six sculptures in the section and was built in 2015.
It is very important for our souls to have fun. Everyone will find his own way … I chose dance and wine as their combination directly refers to the concept of fun. In the shadow of the sculpture, we can see some people dancing. They are having fun. Above them there is someone alone. This could be the DJ, the barman, the waiter… This could be the musician who wrote the music that others listen to and have fun with. This man helps others to have fun but experiences loneliness… And except for them, there are the invisible ones. If you notice, on the right side of the shadow you will see someone, holding something in his hand (maybe a glass or a book). Their shape is formed by light, not shadow. These are people we may not “see”, such as the bar owner.
