RESTITUTION DE RÉSIDENCE
Résurrection
In this installation/performance, Yannos Majestikos makes objects that allow him to communicate with lost souls. He leaves on an exploratory quest of exiled cemeteries and seeks to understand the reasons for their wanderings. Whether dead on the way to exile but alive in spirit, or physically alive but dead from having lost a part of themselves, Yannos will try to ensure that they don’t end up in oblivion or indifference.
