“Promising
Megaphones” consists of an iron base that supports three speakers. The
base and the speakers are hidden behind rows of colorful banners. The
three speakers reproduce sound. The sound from a collection of
political speeches by all party leaders of the Greek parliament in the
decades after the junta. The speeches are mixed together and reproduced
all at the same time. The sound effect is very close to the limits of
noise and the political discourse of contemporary democratic system is
confused and negated into becoming sound rubbish.
