Shot on location in the landscape of Mount Olympus, the video brings a poem by Zervos into dialogue with an ancient Greek text by lyric poet from Argos, Telesilla, while exploring how people in modern times grapple with ancient ideals of equality and immortality.

The Onassis Cultural Center New York presented “My Half of the Sky, My Half of the Earth” by artist Maria Zervos as part of the exhibition "Gods and Mortals at Olympus: Ancient Dion, City of Zeus," curated by Dimitrios Pandermalis, 2016.
