Anaskafi / Excavation

“ANASKAFI / EXCAVATION” is an original site-specific performance and in situ art installation that transforms the Archaeological Museum of Aigio into a space of experiential inquiry. Starting from the transition from the Church of the Presentation of the Virgin Mary to the permanent exhibition, the work is organized as a journey from surface to depth: procession, entrance, observation, excavation, documentation, exhibition. At the core of the performance lies the parallel between the stratigraphy of the ground and the stratigraphy of human memory. Through a staged monologue, the work enters into dialogue with the exhibits and with the art installation of the “Excavation Pit”, highlighting the fragment as an active document of wear, loss, endurance, and care. The performance proposes an initiation into attention, where historical memory, body, and shared experience meet before the human trace.
