Zoumboulakis Galleries present “Sound Drawings”, the latest solo exhibition by Zafos Xagoraris.
Zafos Xagoraris has realized during the last years a series of open-air sound installations and collective actions in urban environments such as: Athens, Pireus, Istanbul, Munich, Palermo, Syracuse, Brooklyn New York, Ushuaia, Sao Paulo or even in outdoor spaces found in smaller scale urban complexes such as the abandoned villages (Aghios Sozomenos and Petrofani) in Cyprus.
These installations aimed at: the transformation of whispers into noise through the reinforcement of trivial sounds, the reduction of the range of some source of noise (for example of a bell), or the encouragement of those who pass by to participate.
During these projects elementary mechanisms or devices were used, such as: car batteries, microphones, speakers, bells, sirens and amplifiers.
Three of these installations and the two dimensional, water soluble works which accompany them are going to be presented at this solo exhibition.
Kostas Christopoulos presents in parallel the series Imprints, Collages & Decollages.
