“Walls” is an interactive, audiovisual installation that reimagines Constantine P. Cavafy's poem of the same title as an immersive, experimental Hip Hop experience. In this installation, participants must work together to solve an interactive rhythm poem. By activating a sequence of beats, rhythms, and stanzas that combine key elements of Cavafy’s original poem, participants transform the installation into a wholly unique and expansive fractal world.
New York Emcee ELUCID lends his distinctive voice to Cavafy’s original text, and engages the Greek poet in a call-and-response across time.
