COLLAGE ON VIEW<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Konstantinos Patsios & Marios Fournaris: Nature inside the Walls<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

at the Herakleidon Museum in Thissio, Athens, Greece
7 November 2025-18 January 2026<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

“Nature inside the Walls” explores urban biodiversity (plants, animals, etc. in the urban environment) through interaction with the city, the machine, and human perception. In addition, it brings the artists’ works into dialogue with the achievements of ancient Greek technology from the Museum’s collection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The art works in the exhibition comment on the current human-nature-technology relationship and refer to the contrast and synthesis between the natural environment and the artificial\/urban landscape. Placed in the Herakleidon Museum, they are in conversation with the technological achievements of the Ancient Greeks, who exploited nature (sun, water, wind) to create ecologically conscious technologies. The aim of the exhibition is to raise awareness, in a visible and symbolic way, of the need to preserve and protect urban biodiversity, highlighting its importance for quality of life, environmental sustainability and cities’ resilience to the climate crisis. It also invites the public to reconsider the harmony that existed between man, nature and technology in antiquity, encouraging them to reflect on their own role in shaping a more harmonious future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The exhibition was curated by independent curator Nina Fragopoulou, Ph.D. (Marine Biology).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
