EXPERIENTIAL COLLAGE - REALITIES

Walter Benjamin’s “Charles Baudelaire” is the source inspiration of the four creators where the phenomenon of Flâneur – a modern observer of the urban culture who wanders and experiences the city while being unnoticed -is analyzed. The art team places itself in the position of the observer (Flâneur) and experiences reality like a synthesis of fragmentary practices, a composition of reality that reflects the chaotic elements of the urban infrastructure of Athens, and more specifically in the area of Kerameikos-Metaxourgeio, like a cultural mosaic.

Stimulated from the coexistence of different architectures and cultures and mostly from the coexistence of modern building design and neoclassical ruins, the four female artists observed the surroundings of Kerameikou 73 street, broke away, isolated representative elements and reconstructed the urban landscape using the technique of collage, “reflecting” the surroundings and  pushing it forward artistically.

The “Realities” is an installation with an atmospherical scenographic approach that comes from the collaboration of the female artists, each one with different specialization and experience in the fields of interior architecture, lighting design and scenography.
