The soul of man -often called Psyche, and in the Eleusinian Mysteries symbolized by Persephone- is essentially a spiritual thing. Its true home is in the higher worlds, where, free from the bondage of material form and material concepts, it is said to be truly alive and self-expressive. The human, or physical, nature of man, according to this doctrine, is a tomb, a quagmire, a false and impermanent thing, the source of all sorrow and suffering. Plato describes the body as the sepulcher of the soul; and by this he means not only the human form but also the human nature.
Video-art . Image and music inspired from the Ancient Mysteries. The idea was based on creating a generally, symmetrical pattern, where beginning and end would coincide. So every time a cycle ends, a completely new one begins, which is always determined by the observer/listener's point of focus, both visually and auditory. Thus each work in the mirrors of the Mysteries is created with the idea of moving perpetually through time, exactly like the idea of ancient Mysteries that will never cease to exist and move the human imagination. Possible symbolisms that may be presented are completely random and have absolutely nothing to do with the essence that the art-work hopes to address: To act like a magic mirror, revealing to everyone the entrance to the world of fantasy.
