The Bridge of Thermaicus - A journey of realization and transformation
Abstract
"The Bridge of Thermaicus" is a project about the Crisis in Europe (financial, cultural, social, ethical) and some relevant phenomena such as violence, emigration and alienation. It includes a series of street live art performances in Thessaloniki (Greece) and Gothenburg (Sweden). Its methodological core is collective silent walking in an artivistic context. This book is a "performative diary" about "The Bridge of Thermaicus", an attempt to "enact the affective force of the performance event again".
