Bath House of the Winds, Museum of Modern Greek Culture

​

Τhe artists are called to draw inspiration from Homer’s Odyssey, James Joyce’s Ulysses (where the hero, now a contemporary man, recounts his journey once he has reached his “destination”), and also Nikos Kazantzakis’ England: A Travel Journal.


The exhibition poses questions about the concept of “journey”, the “beginning” and the “end”, as a convention and as an existential dimension. The concepts of “time compensation” and “decompensation” form the backbone of the exhibition. It also addresses issues such as the non-linear narrative of the Odyssey as manifested in Homer’s techniques that enrich the oral narrative as a historical document. The exhibition proposes a holistic view of the “narrative”, highlighting it as an object that inspires systemic exposure not only on the level of the academic/research work but also in literature.
