In his artistic research, Stéphan Crasneanscki combines sound, image, and text. Medea is no exception to this rule: the project developed during a crossing of the Black Sea, where, off the coasts of Turkey, Georgia, Russia, Crimea, Ukraine, Romania, and Bulgaria, he worked with his Soundwalk Collective, to archive the sonic material that would become the record, Medea. Crasneanscki’s photographs, taken over the course of ten years at nightfall, attend to the somber aspects of the myth of Medea. Endlessly refracted, the figure of the vengeful mother, the priestess Hecate, Circe’s niece, is reconstructed in fragments, those of a logbook that tracks the myth across a region fractured by wars and the powers that be.
