Press Releases

The Department of Antiquities of the Deputy Ministry of Culture, announces the extension of the art installation “We Met – Love, Death and META”,at theCyprus Museum (Temporary Exhibition Hall), until the 26^th January 2025. The extension has been decided in response to the installation’s large attendance and great popularity, with both local and foreign visitors.

The installation approaches three fundamental existential conditions that have been a focal point of human creativity and thought through the ages, inviting us to reflect on their realisation in the present time. Antiquities from the Department of Antiquities’collections and contemporary artworks by Michalis Charalambous co-inhabit in a timeless and labyrinthine environment, aesthetically accessible to young generations. Clay, metal, stone, glazes, prints, 3D printing materials and algorithmic entities are combined within this hybrid universe where love and death represent successive transitions in the immersive journey of the (META) human toward the virtual realms, beyond reality.

The virtual reality (VR) work, which is part of the installation, was realised with the contribution of ITICA of the CYENS Centre of Excellence.
