The kom.post collective would like to offer a personalised tour to visitors to the Eleventh Plateau, made from reality intertwined with fictional perturbations, through the two-day event that all will share.  Inspired by the program as well as by the different themes and issues dealt with during the event (ecology, environment, nature-technique…), kom.post’s artists will propose a series of promenades, sensitive and sensible, which allow each participant to connect to the vastness of an experience, to its extreme intimacy.  IS(o)LAND(scapes) takes up the notion of the guide as it is used in cultural events (an oriented explication delivered in the form of an audio recording or through a human presence) and transforms it into a new territory shared by spectators and creators, in order to attempt, together, a new esthetic crossing, one that is inscribed into its particular context (these thematic days offered on the island of Hydra in July 2011), a milieu both vast and limited, in which one must orient oneself, find one’s point of view, find one’s place : in order to practice one’s own “ecologie”.  ECO-LOGOS: the common voice of our common and singular space.  An eco-esthetic proposed by kom.post, based on the context of the Eleventh Plateau, which will bring each visitor, equiped with his “modified audio-guide”, through a particular trajectory, made up of deambulations, both mental and physical, and encounters with figures met by chance, others more troubling…; a landscape, or a part of oneself, that an exterior sign can evoke differently, passing by a tree or a memory, activating an intimate interior archeologie.
