Aphrodite is a site-specific intervention, which focus on the figure of the Greek goddess of beauty and love: Venus, in Roman mythology, or Aphrodite in Greek mythology.
What is associated with beauty and love? How is beauty represented in different cultures, and how were beauty and love represented in antiquity? What attributes would one associate with a contemporary Venus?
With these questions as a starting impulse, the Aphrodite site-specific intervention emerged. The purple fabric, mysterious, soft and with a furry surface, is the attribute chosen by the artist for her contemporary Venus.
