Dissolving Localities: An Audiovisual Performance

After its presentation in Madrid, Paris, Krakow, Los Angeles and other major cities, Dissolving Localities project will be presented in Athens, at the Athens School of Fine Arts, on Monday 8th of October.

Dissolving Localities was created as an artistic platform to connect cities and art by taking the daily life of the cities' inhabitants and transforming them into artistic expression. The project was originally created in Jerusalem where artists from all over the world cooperated in order to collect audiovisual material of the city, which was then mixed live and presented as a performance.

The project then evolved into connecting Jerusalem with other cities around the world and it has already been presented in Madrid, Paris, Krakow, Los Angeles et al.

Emmanuel Witzthum, Thomas Köner and Arik Futterman the three basic members of project, in collaboration with Greek video-artist Eleni Zervou, will be hosted in Athens for a week. During this period they will explore the urban scene and collect audiovisual material of the city and its inhabitants. After this process, the material collected will be edited in audio-visual segments of the city, which will be mixed live on stage by the artists. By re-presenting the city to its inhabitants, the project will lead to raising new perspectives and views for audience and artists alike.
