Seascape in a Garden
14.07 — 15.01.2023
Description
At the magical archaeological site of Delos, Greek visual artist Katerina Karatzaferi draws inspiration from the Japanese tradition of Komomaki and Greek textile art, while Egyptian composer and musician Ahmed Saleh imagines contemporary Alexandria being sunk under the rising sea surface to meet its Hellenistic ancestor.
The two artists collaborate for the first time on a visual/sound installation and performance based upon different cultural narratives about the threats to the natural environment and its protection. The Japanese and Greek traditions converse and, through the sculpture installation of the first and the personal sound memories of the second, begins a special dialogue with archaeology, historical memory, nature and myth, as captured at the historical and symbolic site of Delos.
