Otherlands

ATOPOS cvc presents Otherlands a site specific exhibition at the archaeological space of
Heraion, Perachora, in the framework of the program of 2024 of the Ministry of Culture
“All of Greece, One Culture”. Otherlands serve as a space of critical encounter with
the Other; sculptures by Petros Moris and sonic fiction by Jeph Vanger and Savina Yannatou
intertwine, in a resonance of everything that exists and has existed in the land, human and
non-human bodies, archaeological remains and geological materials.

Exploring lost stories and connections of pre-archaic history and mythology while maintaining a
direct connection to the subterranean, Otherlands is an interrogation of otherness in deep
time, as a structural component of conflict at both the social and intercultural levels. Deep time
is kept by the drift of the tectonic plates and fossil traces of stone-eating animals in the
limestone columns of the archaeological space. Within deep time we are able to reimagine
historical and contemporary conflicts as we give in to slower processes of making and
unmaking.
