Αντίλαλοι (Echoes)

Creator

Kapetanakis, Theodore

Abstract

Αντίλαλοι (Echoes) is a sound installation consisting of found objects. By recreating a stripped-down version of the artist's childhood bedroom, he revisits his trauma - the result of a dysfunctional family. Throughout working on this project, the artist undergoes a process to heal his younger self and invites the audience to do the same. Elements and voices of the artist’s childhood are intertwined with his present, creating a discussion between the child and the adult in this deteriorating room. As the trauma leaves the kid hollow just like the space, one questions if the audience -through their own experiences- will find their echo in this empty room.
