Voices of Laments
Installation (2022)
Installation Triptych, 25 min. looped/screens
Parallelly to our poroject HELLO TO EMPTINESS, an installation will be created in which we will interweave audiovisual documentary material from different regions of the world (Greece, Korea, Kenya, India) in collaboration with local actors (the “satellites”). Our artistic satellites form independent research and production cells with jointly defined questions. It is a structural attempt to develop international models of cooperation at eye level, with which we support the approach to a common world mourning.
