The word ‘εσω’, eso, is used in Greek-Cypriot dialect to describe the home. It comes from the ancient Greek word, which translates to being inside, being within something.
This eventuated into a multi-object, multi-disciplinary project, becaming slightly obsessed with producing my own objects and 'merchandise'. With all the elements produced, the final film installation used nearly none of them, and focused on the lonely atmosphere of ‘The Eso Monster’.
‘The Eso Monster’ is an abstract figure that is the main subject of the film. It awkwardly lingers around the space and goes through phases of inflation and deflation as we see the figure being filled by a human shape and then later the suit becomes empty and lifeless. The ‘monster’ goes through these motions in a space that resembles a paradise, a beautiful green garden, however the garden itself is also deflated. Time has passed and the care and use of the garden has also decayed, trappign the monster in a paradisaical purgatory.
