Abstract

ēchai Athēnōn (“Echoes of Athens”) is an audiovisual work composed of field recordings gathered from Athens, which are paired with imagined sonic and visual reconstructions of everyday life. Based on Georg Simmel’s observation that visual impressions in the metropolis are fleeting and fragmented, while sound structures social interaction, the project aims to foreground the city’s soundscape and the afterimages it creates, to reveal how everyday sensory experiences shape perception, evoke both closeness and detachment, and reflect the utopian and dystopian rhythms of urban life.
