Thus Spoke the Marble

In journeying we set foot in the world, and we depart again on another journey. In between birth and death our life moves from one journey to another, each also being an emotional one…

Demirden Design asked the designers to reflect on the deep-seated emotions that emerge over the course of an inner journey, and to use this as a starting point for an installation that would communicate them.

Its symbolic title: Thus Spoke the Marble: The Journey Alters You invites visitors on a journey of re-discovery, revealing the narrative qualities of the material.

As well as being a perfect location for rest and relaxation, it also intends to be a place of insight, discussion, and meditation.

Thus Spoke the Marble: The Journey Alters You were built across nine platforms, each carrying an installation, and linked by wooden and iron pathways, representing the metaphor of the inner journey.

The idea of the website is to reflect the concept of the exhibition which is about deep-seated emotions of inner journey. Past and present, physical and spiritual, transitory and lasting…

We want users of the website to go on a journey while they discover the website. Paths (some made out of marble) are used from top to bottom to reflect the journey.
