“Eat my dust“ was resounding at the Greek Pavilion, spoken by a child we recorded at the village my mother is from. He was riding his bike alone, imagining he owns a huge motorbike. Two tire marks got revealed after removing the large machine at the build-down of Xirómero/Dryland at Venice Biennale.

A year ago we were installing our work at the Greek Pavilion in Venice, getting ready for the opening of La Biennale. Xirómero/Dryland has been an immersive installation, placing an irrigation machine in the centre of it; our great performer, our slow dancer, bringing the entire work into life.
