Site-specific mixed media installation, 2024–
Variable dimensions

We see those shipwrecked from a ship of fools. Or those who in some unspecified way escaped boarding on it. They wander aimlessly in rivers, lakes and seashores. They are humans, animals and monsters who live in an unspecified time. They may be primitive, medieval or survivors of a future apocalypse. They are the king’s fools, the followers of Dionysus, Aztec clowns or puppet theater heroes.
Fools without the Ship is an ongoing project presented as a video installation, continuously reshaped as new material is added, removed, and reconfigured over time.

Performers (to date): Eva Koliopantou, Stefanos Chandelis, Dimitris Ameladiotis, Ioakim Minaretzopoulos, Alexandros Monokandylos, Katerina Kalentzi, Tanya Varveri, Markella Ksilogiannopoulou, Natalie Providi, Fotini Xenoktistaki, Manolis Michalogiannakis, Marianna Tsoni, Athanasios Tserionis, Panagiotis Miliotis, Dionisis Korniachtos.

Masks and props by Ioakim Minaretzopoulos, Stefanos Chandelis, Fotini Xenoktistaki, the Ethnographic Center Giorgis Melikis, and the Babougera of Vamvakofito were among those used.
