MYSTERY 68 STALKER – Trees, flowers and fruits… Environment’s Guides
project
Description
Mystery 68 Stalker is a work that features walking routes and urban games co-created in partnership with the local community. Elefsina residents work with cultural heritage managers, tour guides, expert scholars, and artists so as to develop interactive experiences in the public realm that are an expression of their community.
Undertaking the role of the narrator / guide / Stalker, and revealing the city’s multiple facets and memories, citizens invite us to partake in interactive cultural experiences set within the public landscape. The fertile plain of Elefsina, watered by the Elefsinian Kifissos, was a source of wealth in antiquity. Hence, it is no coincidence that Demeter, the mythical goddess of harvest and wheat, was associated with this place.
However, it is doubtful whether Demeter would recognise Elefsina today. Initially, the development of the industrial zone was a blessing for the place, however it resulted in the coastline’s transformation, the hills’ corrosion and the rivers’ disappearance.
After all, what is Elefsina today? What is its environment like? Which streams flow through it; which plants sprout in it?
