Did you know that the term hermaphrodite comes from the Greek myth of Hermaphroditus? He was turned into an androgynous being after rejecting the advances of the nymph Salmacis. At her wish, the gods blended their two bodies into one.
Hermaphroditus' parents were Hermes and Aphrodite, and so the hermaphrodite is male and female by both biology and etymology. Interesting huh?
Well, this month contemporary artist Maria von Köhler presents a site-specific installation at IMT that explores the concept of the hermaphrodite and its interest to artists throughout the ages.
Simultaneously grotesque and beautiful, this is an exhibition concerned with ambiguity: the 'maybe' of the title. Perhaps.
Until 15.03.09.
