The European Capital of Culture Pafos2017 presents the first three works of the “Signs in Time and Space” project. The whole venture includes 12 artworks in total, which shall be placed in different venues in the city, thus creating an open air art museum.

Through the 2014 open call for participation in the programme of the European Capital of Culture Pafos2017, the“Signs in Time and Space” project now leaves its trace and a legacy to the city with installations and sculptures.

The work “Views of Infinity”, a geometric marble installation by Harry Paspallis, the work “Sol Alter” by Yiota Ioannidou, representing Aphrodite the Cypriot goddess of Love on a rock and the red “Poppy” by Andreas Paraskevas that emerges between the Lighthouse and the sea of Pafos are the three projects already installed in the western coastal line of Kato Pafos, giving the city another interesting perspective.

In the upcoming months and throughout the year of the European Capital of Culture nine more sculptures – installations will be placed in the area of Kato Paphos. The group is formed by Yiota Ioannidou, Andreas Paraskevas and Charis Paspallis who have already placed their installations, and also Andreas Makariou, Umit Inatcsi and Dimitris Makariou who will be creating sculptures and artworks in open air venues, giving a new dimension to the concept and philosophy of the open air factory.

The European Capital of Culture – Pafos2017 aims to be placed, with this project and others that will follow in 2017, on the map of cities with interesting and attractive landmarks for both their residents and their visitors.
