Part 5 of Unconformities project
Series of works on paper, (photography, drawing, calligraphy)
Variable dimensions The word “trilogy” comes from the ancient Greek treîs (three) and lógos (stories). This artwork unfolds across three media – photography, drawing, and writing – based on core samples extracted from the subsoil of Beirut (Sursock and city center) and Athens (Eleonas). - Other Installations
The artists resculpted and then photographed these cores. Working alongside museum illustrators, prehistorians, archaeologists, and other specialists, they mapped out traces and events detected within the samples through detailed drawings. From these actions, a kind of scientific index emerged.
The artists then composed possible narratives, weaving together various interpretations, including fictional and poetic ones.
Trilogies explores alternative historical narratives of natural and human activity – markers of time that lie between memory, science, and imagination.
