Turn the Pages installation at Eleftherias Park concerns the outdoor activity of reading in the park. It conceptually highlights the act of reading as an experience involving almost all senses, juxtaposing the physical qualities of a book and the almost overwhelmingly fast transmission of digital information. Browsing a book, turning the pages – little, low-level sound patterns at the threshold of audibility gain a voice, a platform, take on new significance in this artwork. Moreover, reference is made to the linguistic metaphor of change, of ‘turning a page.’
