RAST Diversion

The site-specific installation and sonic happening take the myth of the Achelous River as their point of departure. Here, geomythology serves as a living memory and a transformative force. The notion of diversion refers not only to the rerouting of the river itself but also to a shift in historical and cultural narratives.

Panos Charalambous draws on familiar motifs from his practice—irrigation pipes, metal basins, a boat from Lake Amvrakia—reimagined as vessels of animate ecologies. The tsamiko, deconstructed and elongated, becomes a gesture of embodied and environmental reflection—a choreography of memory inscribed in both body and landscape.

Angelos Krallis constructs a sonic palimpsest, layering rast tonalities, micro-environments, and live processing into a form of acoustic excavation.

Diversion emerges as a practice of reconfiguring our relations with water, land, and time—toward a present of coexistence.
