In Monument of Whispers (2024) by Marianne Strapatsakis, humanity collides with history, confronting its future, its relentless anxieties, and visions. Disassembled seats from the Ideal cinema, a known landmark for Athenian society and part of the Schliemann-Melas building complex, now stand like a totem of a mysterious deity, rising as a monument to a legendary bygone era. Destruction and disintegration of the old give way to the touch of the new, the dazzling, and the contemporary. This installation embodies a desire for rebirth and evolution, urging reflection on what the future and its history will reveal.
