Sinesiu Kirinis 24 is a short guided tour exploring archaeology and the politics ofgossip. The audience follows a narration me through three open-air unwalled rooms, where Ishare stories about the neighbors in my childhood home—memories passeddown by my parents. As we walk, each room activates a unique soundscape,immersing the audience in an auditory experience. Findings, remnants,abandoned objects, props, devices, rumors, and spoken words merge toreconstruct a fragmented memory. Through shifting environments andnarratives, the tour reimagines lost histories, blurring personal and collectivememory into an abstract, immersive storytelling encounter.
The piece was presented for the first time at the Alserkal Arts FoundationResidency Program in Dubai..
