Objectives
An international workshop which included architects and poets on the subject of writing, reciting and recording poetry in a specific outdoors natural site environment. The participants cooperated with each other and also with the Workshop of Environmental Communication and Audio Visual Recording of the Architectural Department and produced as a result a series of texts and their recordings and videos. A final public reciting which took place in the Paou Monastery closed the event.
The workshop introduced a small scale research concerning the relationship between writing, space and reciting as a reaction to a very specific landscape, within a frame where poetry meets with contemporary art through the environment and the synthesis of voice, sound and image.
The participants stayed and worked in the monastery for 7 days.
Organizers from the University of Thessaly: Phoebe Giannisi, Giorgos Papakonstantinou
