Description
The exhibition explores the concept of conflict through water’s transformative power. Highlighting the dynamics of its unifying function, it connects two cities, Thessaloniki and Rome, while inviting visitors to an experience that includes all senses.
The River, a grand-scale mosaic by Christina Nakou, is presented within a soundscape. The installation draws inspiration from the Roman mosaic floors in the Archaeological Museum of Thessaloniki. Through this traditional art form, it attempts to demonstrate handcrafting as an experience of lived-out time, sound as the vibrant imprint of the process, as well as the importance of touch in our connection with the natural world and other people.
The exhibition opens with two performances by Anna Pangalou, titled Voicing Water, which explore the mythology of water, giving voice to the present moment. The mythological narratives about fountains are connected to hydraulic technology, its role in creating musical instruments, and the natural flow of water.
