EPIFANIA - On Site Installation
Competition : "New Iraklio Station" Public Art Competition. Athens, Greece
Competition Design : 2003
Architectural Design : C. Romanos
Commissioner : Electric Railway of Athens and Suburbs (ΗΣΑΠ)

The artwork is placed on the wall of the refurbished rail station in the Athenian district of Iraklio. The scheme considered the notions of transit, movement and urban sound, condensing these ideas in a vertical glass wall with water flowing over it. Sandblasted on the surface of the glass, the word Earth in 24 languages connects the water with earth and the user with the world.

The sound of the water is acoustically enhanced through speakers, to create a momentary second of passage under the wall of water.
