"Fylakio Mnimis" (Memory Box)


“What is engraved is more resistant to corrosion and destruction than time. So the engraving serves the memory in a way." - Xenophon Sahinis

In 1996, Xenophon Sahinis began using plexiglass as a suitable material for his creations. Its transparency inspired the artist in the struggle between memory and oblivion. The "Memory Box" is a transparent cube that contains the tangible memory of the act of etching that emerges from the Plexiglas matrices. In this three-dimensional box the memory is protected in perpetuity while the two mirrors multiply it to infinity.
