KORMÓS

About

“For the 'Plásmata: Bodies, Dreams, and Data' (2022) exhibition in Pedion tou Areos, the largest public park in Athens, Kormós was the key to artfully and respectfully revealing the often-overlooked layers of history, personal experiences, and communities in the public space. The work brought both new visitors and people already familiar with the park into a narrative that triggered emotions, challenged pre-conceptions, and revealed hidden stories.”

— Prodromos Tsiavos, Head of Digital & Innovation, Onassis Stegi

Created site-specifically for Pedion tou Areos, Kormós is a series of time-based site-specific soundwalks though the park - accessed via a custom platform, on your personal mobile device and headphones. The piece immerses participants using binaural environmental recordings, sound design, and original composition. Each walk is based on an individual conversation, recorded in the park, on themes of corporeal experience, physical memory, the sensory world, public and private space, the spirals of recorded time, and the core issues these present and represent.
