Pavlou Nirvana str., Raktivan Str. & Inescapable Routes

Mosaics: How many stone fragments create a mosaic? How many memories craft a human? How many human stories craft the world? The mosaic is often used as a metaphor for the social condition osmosis of many, different, random assemblages within an often landscaped cultural urban diversity. In the mosaic every human preserves their individuality, their particularly “precious” characteristics that make them recognizable in its chaotic coexistence with other people. They coexist randomly, as randomly as the cut-out papers sit on the ground in Dadaism collage. Is it really random?
Inescapable Routes: Top view of the redesigned map of Thessaloniki with the mosaics instead of place names, and their placement in the exact places where they were photographed during tours in the city. If one looks at the map of our encounters with the fragments of the mosaics in the city of arrangement looks random – like their stone formations. But finally the signs they form our inescapable routes. Perhaps, of course, they also show the need to escape.
