Summary
In 2019, multidisciplinary artist Kiki Smith was invited to present a site-specific project at the DESTE Foundation Project Space in Hydra, a former slaughterhouse perched on the edge of the sea. Drawing on maritime history, mythology, astronomy, and site - specific anthropology, Smith combined naturalistic and fantastic elements into a multi-piece composition that reflects the lived and imagined memory of both the slaughterhouse - a stage for sacrifices - and the Hydra region itself. Alongside photographs of the installation and texts by Maggie Wright and Nadja Argyropoulou, Memory presents documentation of Smith's process using a variety of materials including sculpture, textiles, and drawings.
