The Former Military Camps of Thessaloniki
07.07 — 08.07.2023
Description
Rare military camp exhibits are presented in the historical site of Kodra, in Kalamaria, Thessaloniki. With the help of an experienced guide, audiences will be guided through the different “room cemeteries”. Audience members will be requested to remain silent – the rooms reveal their secrets and desires only upon the condition of absolute silence.
The tour will be followed by the laying of a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. It is the moment when the “Unknown” Soldier will confess the unexpected end of his path to the unknown visitors. Next comes a short stop in front of Johann Sebastian Bach. The only exhibit in the camp that is allowed to talk to birds and barbed wire fences. The end of the trail signals the beginning of a new one. Our hope and wish is that art can cast away the negative energy of what’s dead and peacefully warm up human togetherness in those old military camps in the city that have been patiently waiting for it for years. The former military camps profess resurrection in the everyday eulogy of our cities.
