“Fantasy is mythomaniac
Voice is produced from the air of the soul
The trace is a music score…”

Georgios Xenos

Starting on August 1st and lasting until October 12th, painter Georgios Xenos presents the work Progression, Number 163 as an audiovisual installation around the peristyle of the National Museum of Contemporary Art.
