about

Route One follows a typical commuter journey around the Athens suburbs. A short car trip leads to a longer spell in the metro system before the traveller emerges to listen to the voices on a crowded neighbourhood pavement. The piece was initially intended to be a much more direct account of such a journey but working on the material under the unusual conditions of the C19 lockdown led to quite a different outcome. The noise and movement of city life and travel were suddenly muted; free movement in public space, the time to linger and explore, easy access to the city – all of these came to a halt. The original intention of a direct account of the journey became an exploration of the internal signals within the audio and video recordings.

Το έργο Route One ακολουθεί μία τυπική διαδρομή από το κέντρο προς τα προάστια της Αθήνας. Η πορεία, πρώτα με αυτοκίνητο και στη συνέχεια με το μετρό, οδηγεί τον ταξιδιώτη σε ένα πολυσύχναστο και γεμάτο φωνές σημείο μιας γειτονιάς. Το έργο είχε ως στόχο να είναι μία άμεση απόδοση αυτής της διαδρομής. Όμως οι συνθήκες που επέβαλε η πανδημία οδήγησαν σε ένα τελείως διαφορετικό αποτέλεσμα. Ο θόρυβος και η κίνηση της ζωής της πόλης ξαφνικά σώπασαν και η αρχική πρόθεση μετατράπηκε σε μία εσωτερική εξερεύνηση των σημάτων που κρύβονται στις ηχογραφήσεις και τις εικόνες.
