For 'Touching Faultlines' at the antique Roman Theater of Gortyna in Crete, Cyprian artist Lito Kattou has set up her sculpture 'The Whisperer VI'.
The two-day Τouching Faultlines event is
a conversation between modern artistic practices and the Roman Odeon of
Gortyna. It explores geological time and movement, with a special focus
on ruptures and tensions as points of contact. The relationship between
geological and historical past emerges in the present through
performance acts, dancing, sculptural and audiovisual installations,
texts, and sound interventions. Performers react to the converging and
diverging movements of tectonic plates, volcanic eruptions, and seismic
vibrations, along with their political and cultural connotations.
Participating visual artists: Mounira Al Solh, Enrico Floriddia & Fredj Moussa, Huniti Goldox, Ermira Goro, Lito Kattou, Petros Moris, Eva Papamargariti, Anna Papathanasiou & Inga Galinytė, Panos Profitis, Eleni Tomadaki, Iria Vrettou
