Several thousand years ago, before the dawn of historical times, in a remote region of the Himalayas lived a group of remarkable individuals whose existence is shrouded in mystery. The Rishis. These beings are considered ancient sages that possessed divine knowledge. They where seers, they had the gift of inner vision and could see the past, present, and future. Aditya was one of the 4 Rishis.
I remember the awe I always felt at the idea of ancient mysteries. Their dark origin never ceased to excite my imagination. Μany were the times that I was inspired by the myths of the mysteries in several of my earlier artworks. My main question on this subject has always been how I, as an artist, could communicate an abstract atmosphere that can create concrete imagination. Since we do not and will never have a clearer picture of mysteries outside of what theories and myths give us, I felt that such an atmosphere could only be conveyed in a vague way.
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.
All videos and musical compositions are created by Achilles Nasios in 2022.
