OEDIPUS IDOL REFLECTION
ONTO
JOCASTA'S GOLDEN MIRROR PINS

Oedipus, a blessed King with the gift of insight vision. The only man who succeed to unlock the unsolved Sphinx's riddle. After killing his true father the prophecy is thus fulfilled and everything will be tyrannically revealed. Before the final end, Oedipus removes the long golden pins that held Jocasta's dress and plunging them into his own eyes in despair.
The Artist will try to reproduce Oedipus final sorrowful monologue but by making a radical inversion of the plot .He will use the Fourth Chorus Stasimon (1186-1222) in his effort to intrude Oedipus unconscious mind where the pure Truth resides in and makes an apocalypse for the humanity.

His aesthetic reference will be the moment when the face of King Oedipus reflects onto the golden Jocasta's pins just seconds before he violently plunges them into his eyes...

Thus the plot will be projected one step behind.
