Taste. In Sifnos, an island characterized by distinct flavors, where taste becomes a sentiment as well a sense.
The manoura cheese. Which is taste and smell at the same time.
The manoura cheese as it is produced at the neighboring small dairy, using a plethora of utensils and impressions, plain but full of energy.
The vessels of Antonis Atsonios. With my own intervention in terms of shape and the black color. The black color of strong fires which absorbs the white disorder of the process. Milk, curd, straining, then must and finally cheese.
And a cell at the monastery of Fyrogia which hosts me. A cell with a lot of birds’ nests. Birds that sing. Birds that influenced my thoughts in that cell. Birds that, judging from last year’s experience, will disappear the moment the exhibition begins.
So I have captured the singing and left it to accompany my work.

It was my wish for visitors to be able to sense the characteristic smell of manoura. For practical reasons, the cheese could not remain exposed.
At the opening of the show, visitors were offered some manoura cheese. On all other days there was a plaster replica of the cheese on display. |

Designed as a pattern for a paper tablecloth for the island’s restaurants during the exhibition. Ιt carries recipes of typical Sifnos dishes in Greek and English. After many efforts, it proved too costly and was never realised. |
