The objects of the “Omphalos Syndrome” series are based on the geometry of the center – both that of a panopticon, a surveillance device, and that of an omphalos – the navel of the earth.
Among the Ancient Greeks, it was a widespread belief that Delphi was the center of the world – it is there that Zeus placed the sacred omphalos stone. Today the term Omphalos Syndrome refers to the belief that a place of geopolitical power and currency is the most important place in the world.
The work was created for the OCCUPY ART PROJECT (NEW YORK – ATHENS) Supported by a grant from a Polish MInistry of Culture and National Heritage
