The project takes as its starting point the archive of the poet Constantine Cavafy and the gaps and fragments found within it. Specifically, the artists delve into Cavafy’s teenage journal, Constantinopoliad, an epic, written as the poet and his family were fleeing Alexandria for Constantinople.

Sat together around a table, audiences are guided through an exploration of Cavafy’s teenage journal, and the absences that reveal the historic and erotic encounters which continued to the haunt the poet throughout his life.

Please note: This project runs at set intervals during the exhibition’s opening hours and booking is required.
