TAUROKHATAPSIA
2011 - 2025
A playful and poetic exploration of the Minoan matrilineal civilization.
From 2011 to 2025, Chabannes inserted numerous allusions to octopodal pictoriality into her work, invoking the idealistic Minoan society whose emblem was the octopus, a master of camouflage and representational strategies. The frequent allusions to polyps in Chabannes' work are also aimed at reflecting on our place in the world in light of the climate crisis and Professor Tim Coulson's recent research findings that octopuses could evolve into the next builders of civilization if humanity goes extinct. Taurokhatapsia is an ongoing project currently funded by revered and spirited private art collections.
