MAPPING

During ‘Mapping’ performance the wider city area of Athens, the peninsula of Attica, transforms into a field of imaginary architectural action. The imaginary supervision of the map by the subjectivity of the master planner-general, leads to the manifestation of a no-scale desire. The desire for the city and its territory, which is the desire for the commons, smoothly expresses itself while the subject extrudes into thick white paint stains ‘writing’ on the map in front of his audience. The flowing paint draws a metropolitan park on Mount Hymettus that is located in the middle of a city that extends between Thriasio plain and Lavrion peninsula.
