Getting out of Zola
In August 2021 the participating artists were in the area of Paliki Kefalonia just outside Zola to investigate the possibility of exploring a wandering practice around an abandoned scaffolding that was anarchically placed on an inaccessible hill far enough away from Argostoli provincial road.
Concluding their search, a week later, on August 30, an on-site presentation of their experiments to date took place. The spontaneous event had a highly situational character and a risky projection installation on the scaffolding at sunset.
However, as the experiments were further elaborated in the months that followed, a new appointment was made to study how the changes in the personal time and place of each of them affected the dialogue between them. So looking at the 7 thoughts on the issues of wandering and having now moved away from Zola, the narrative is enriched but does not diverge and the relations between them remain subversively complementary.
Participating artists: Lucia Bricco, Gregoria Vrittia, Nicole Economides, Eva Isleifs, Eleanna Balesi, Eliana Otta, Maaike Stutterheim
