The fallen Oedipus appears as an ice puppet that gradually turns into water then into mist and disappears in the Erynian Forest -- the place of clairvoyance. It is an inner evolution represented through the metamorphosis of water.
HERE Will Present Kalan Sherrard's KOSMOS INVERS: THE MORPHOLOGY OF XOS
by Chloe Rabinowitz
- Feb 6, 2020
As the Earth crumbles around us and we continue to kill everything in our path, it is time we face the paradoxic integration of evils within ourselves: sterility and garbage, meaninglessness, sexuality as the sin of origin, the contradictory drives of human things. KOSMOS INVERS is the creation of two inverse planets filled with bizarre otherworldly puppets: one, an Edenic parallel of our green earth; and the other, its tentacled pink opposite. Strange fragments of stories coalesce through the contours of different biomes piecing together a patchwork of utopian armageddon and weird psychological metaphors with a green cosmic bent.
