17 Jun   31 Jul 2021 at the Ileana Tounta Contemporary Art in Athens, Greece 10 July 2021 Maria Louizou, Six Breaths per Minute, Installation view. Photos by Petros Toufexis In the exhibition Six Breaths per Minute, Maria Louizou presents a sculptural installation combined with a vocal performance. Upon entering the ground floor of the gallery, the visitors encounter three large-scale clay constructions, in which the three performers step into in order to “use” the sculptures as speakers for a composition created by the artist herself. For these large clay sculptures, Louizou drew her inspiration from the Greek tradition, ancient and contemporary, and the end result is a combination of different pottery forms, chosen to serve both the artistic vision of the artist, but also to create the necessary conditions to achieve the desired acoustics. The earthy material of the sculptures matches the colour of the performers costumes, which, standing still, become one with them.
