Annabelle

Annabelle is a site-specific performance that took place in the giant burnt rooms of the Psiloritis Refrigerators. The performance was inspired by a Zoroastrian funeral rite performed by our friend Nikos Branidis for his cat, Annabelle. Zoroastrians used to leave their deceased loved ones in the highest points of the city, singing hymns that call the vultures to feed on our deceased loved ones. In the performance, we utilized the natural acoustic properties of the space to invite the birds or to transform ourselves into them. The performance was accompanied by texts from Soren Kierkegaard and Giorgos Efthimiou.

    Super Sport #02 is set in the abandoned ΧΡΩΠΕΙ factory close to Piraeus and is an art action made by a group of artists with no specific curatorial line or guidelines, other than the will to explore the potential of experimentation in this kind of environment, so common in the urban skin of Athens.

    The imposing carcass of the “Ψυγεία ο Ψηλορείτης” building, next to Kifissos, played a decisive role for the project of the SuperSport#3 initiative.
