S1E7: Dinner at Pygmalion’s: Part two. The continued exploration of the development from the addition of body parts onto broken chairs into a multi-dimensional installation.

Torso - with it’s ‘natural check’. Hermes and Aphrodite begat ‘hermaphrodite’—male and female in one body.

Entryway to a sitting at Dinner at Pygmalion’s

Katalysmos (Greek) = inundation, flooding; as in ‘by passion’. You booked a sitting, went in, sat in each chair, ate if you brought food. As you sat speakers embedded in a body part on each chair told you one more part of the story of the myth of Pygmalion’s search for a perfect mate. The ‘menu’/invite included a sealed section with further “Thoughts . . .” on the installation.

One of the four sets of ‘eye boxes’ hung from the wings of a carved swan flying over the table. Each with life ‘scenes’ in color on the back. The ‘eyes’ looked back at you as you looked into them.
