This fragment of contemporary art has survived since the time of Eco Art, one of the most ambitious (or less understandable?) projects of Pafos 2017. It was held under the title 'Paths on Common Ground.' The project curator, Tuli Misirloglu, invited contemporary artists such as Kostis Velonis, Stavros Panayiotakis, Hermann Pitz, Mimmo Rubino, Rinos Stefani, Marinos Tsaggarakis, Horst Weierstall, and performers Marios Hadjipokopiou, Antonis Antoniou, and Anna Tsakou to participate. The project emphasizes the connection between art and nature, opens a dialogue on essential existential questions, and creates a significant heritage in contemporary art in Cyprus. If I hadn't read this, I would never have known this is a column with ink printing on a rope. And now, I still don't know much, but I've heard intelligent words and various names—contemporary art. There you have it.
Our journey begins at the medieval castle and continues along the waterfront. This trail is fully exposed to the sun, so it’s essential to take precautions. There are many beautiful places here, including the sunken ship that rises like a ghost with its rusty hull above the azure water. By the way, away from the tourist spots, you’ll find semi-wild city beaches. They have their own quiet and secluded charm. Finally, we’ll reach a massive ancient necropolis with royal tombs. It’s an incredible place, filled with ancient monuments - burial sites that faithfully replicate residential houses and luxurious villas from the ancient world. After all, in the afterlife, one should live as in the present life. It’s a very interesting journey, and I hope you enjoy it. Just don’t forget sun protection!
