"Cabinets of Miracles", Group show, Curated by Polina Kosmadaki, Christopher Marinos, Zone D-Zoumboulakis Galleries, Athens, Greece. "Promising
Megaphones" consists of an iron base that supports three
speakers. The base and the speakers are hidden behind rows of
colorful banners. The three speakers reproduce sound. The sound
from a collection of political speeches by all party leaders of
the Greek parliament in the decades after the junta. The
speeches are mixed together and reproduced all at the same time.
The sound effect is very close to the limits of noise and the
political discourse of contemporary democratic system is
confused and negated into becoming sound rubbish.
