-Metallic pigments and oils on metallic surface, found natural bird wings
-70 cm x 84 cm
"Fragmentary surviving votive relief with a representation of black and white wings of the bird generator of the genus of agapods of the Anthropocene period.
The wings, in a heart-shaped formation, are fixed to a painted metal plate which is crossed by two parallel oxidized blades. In the background of the relief there is an altered landscape painting, painted with gold pigment, while traces of silver and bronze shades can be seen. Subtle translucencies of green paint can be detected at a central point in the work. The wing scallops are coated with the same gold metallic pigment as in the background of the relief.
It was found in 2023 during a walking practice in the greater Golina area and then welded."
7 composers - 7 visual artists, 7 places, 7 routes that converge in Florina. Achlada Mine, Mesonissii Railway Station, World War I engravings in Varnountas (Prespes), Wind Turbines (Golina), Decauville Alona train route, Taima mountain location, Rose Dam.
Each of the 14 creators "adopted" one of the landmarks chosen symbolically, as emblematic examples either of lignite activity or of the new reality emerging with the green transition, as well as of the continuing presence of the historical evolution of the 20th century in the region. On-site observation and sound recordings by the creators created the appropriate osmosis that formed the basis for the works created.
