“In Search of a new Myth”, is an AR collection of artworks, that seek to explore the idea of a myth as a passage from one city to another. It explores the dreams and aspirations, the joy and pain, the known and the unknown. Through this passage we wish to look closer to ones idea of the myth. Myth becomes a new abstract idea of home. One leaves the myth that never came to life, in search of a new myth. One leaves a home that was never homely for a new home that potentially is. After all what is actually a myth? Is it a story that portrays archetypal values and ideas? Is it a personal feeling of ambition and vanity? Or is it a sense of hope and dreams coming true?
The AR exhibition/treasure hunt spreads across a route from silent green Kulturquartier to panke.gallery and vice versa. Audience will be provided with a physical map from either of the two venues, and will be navigated through the OpenAR platform.
“In search of a new party” follows the themes of the AR exhibition and brings along music, Greek trash culture, visuals and more… Be prepared ✨ A little party never hurt nobody, or has it? What is a party? Maybe it’s an indirect space where one can simply exist... Maybe it’s a space where identities, the past and potential futures no longer matter or exist. Party is the prequel and the sequel to a myth, it is a liminal space where myths are build and/or deconstructed.
