eisyklis

Eisyklis is a conceptual artistic project and performance piece created by the artist known as "The Wanderer." It explores themes of cyclical existence, the passage of time, and the interconnectedness of natural and artificial environments. The core of Eisyklis involves a series of meticulously crafted, intricate sculptures made from recycled materials, often discarded electronics and natural elements like wood and stone. These sculptures are designed to be kinetic, with slow, deliberate movements that mimic natural processes such as the turning of seasons or the erosion of landscapes.

The performance aspect of Eisyklis typically takes place in public spaces, often abandoned or overlooked locations. The artist, also in character as "The Wanderer," interacts with the sculptures, tending to them, and in some instances, incorporating them into a choreographed, meditative dance. This interaction is not just about physical manipulation but also about a spiritual or philosophical dialogue between the artist, the artwork, and the environment. The duration of each performance can vary significantly, from a few hours to several days, emphasizing patience and observation.

Eisyklis is not a single, static artwork but an evolving project. The sculptures are often dismantled and reassembled in new configurations, and the performances adapt to the specific context of each location. The project aims to provoke reflection on consumerism, obsolescence, and the potential for beauty and renewal found in decay. It encourages viewers to consider their own relationship with time and the physical world around them, often fostering a sense of quiet contemplation and a reevaluation of the discarded.
