The Quest - Porcelain Pillows
In his evocative new series "The Quest", artist Ioannis Stathoyiannis presents a stunning collection of delicate posthuman porcelain pillows.
Join us at Galeria 5, Centrul de Proiecte Timisoara for an extraordinary journey through art, memory, and technology.In his evocative new series "The Quest", artist Ioannis Stathoyiannis presents a stunning collection of delicate porcelain pillows. Described as "vessels of recollections," these mixed-media sculptures weave together a deep, internal cartography of lived experiences across Europe, Asia, North America, and the Middle East. Spanning five cultural landscapes—Romania, Lithuania, Türkiye, China, and Greece—each porcelain pillow acts as a tactile archive where memories, dreams, and emotions meet. By blending traditional ceramic craftsmanship with advanced modern elements like fiber optics, 3.5-inch screens, and 3D printing, Stathoyiannis invites us to explore the intriguing boundaries of posthumanism and the relationship between humanity and technology.
