ON SOUND/IN SOUND
Among Wolves
16/05/2025 – 15/02/2026.
Soundscape composition.
Featured in the Sonic Space of the exhibition Why Look at Animals? A Case for the Rights of Non-Human Lives.
National Museum of Contemporary Art (EMST), Athens.
Curated by Joanna Zielińska (Sonic Space) and Katerina Gregos (Exhibition).
The work engages with principles of Acoustic Ecology, focusing on biophony and soundscape analysis. It contributes to the EchoLoci soundscaper platform by documenting the natural sound diversity of Central Zagori and exploring the relationship between biodiversity and seasonal environmental changes. Through this dynamic interplay of natural and human-generated soundscapes, the composition reflects broader ecological systems and the urgency of ecological awareness.
Presented within the Sonic Space of EMST’s landmark exhibition Why Look at Animals?, curated by Joanna Zielińska, the piece aligns with the exhibition’s overarching theme: challenging anthropocentric thinking and advocating for the recognition of animals as sentient beings. Inspired by John Berger’s seminal essay, the exhibition – the largest in EMST’s history – spans all floors of the museum and includes over 200 works by more than 60 international artists.
Among Wolves, through its ecological focus, invites audiences to engage with the acoustic presence of non-human life and the fragile balance of natural ecosystems. Its inclusion in this exhibition underscores the role of sound not only as a medium for artistic expression but also as a vehicle for political, ethical, and environmental advocacy.
