Bunkerologies, Performative Installation by Andriana Lagoudes and Sophie Fetokaki for Pame Kaimakli festival 2025


Pame Kaimakli promotional material


Our performative installation explores the dead ends that punctuate Kaimakli. Through ethnographic research and drawing on existing scholarship on the edges of demilitarised zones, we navigate the duty of silence surrounding these tight, haphazard spaces. How does this duty vary along gendered lines, and how do we belong alongside their artefacts?




The recordings here were made in and around the concrete and soil bunkers of the green line of Kaimakli neighbourhood in Lefkosia. During our research, we engaged in practices of sounding and listening as a form of speculative cartography - a way of mapping spaces one should not enter, thresholds one should not cross.

The material here is composed of fragments of a quadrophonic installation created for our presentation at Urban Gorillas' festival 'Pame Kaimakli,' in October 2025.
