Artist 03​​
Artist 03 solidified Kuzma’s commemorative delivery tradition — a practice in which each instrument engages with place and history before reaching its final home.
​
Prior to installation, Artist 03 undertook a Mediterranean journey across Cyprus, performing Greek music throughout the island’s varied cultural and natural landscapes. Across ruins, villages, and mythic landmarks, the instrument’s autonomous performance integrated into the landscapes it occupied.
​
The instrument ultimately reached its private installation site in Limassol, carrying the documentation of its Mediterranean performance phase.
Cultural Context
Cyprus stands at the crossroads of Europe, Asia, and the Middle East — a convergence of civilizations, mythologies, and maritime history. Artist 03’s Mediterranean performance phase engaged with these layered histories before installation.
