Description: The concept of the hotel is based on Ulysses journey, as Corfu was his last stop before returning to Ithaca. For this project we curated a holistic art program, according to which each different area of the resort was part of a different chapter of Ulysses story. In order to ensure homogeneity in aesthetic gesture we collaborated with artist Theodoros Zafeiropoulos. That allowed us to created a deeper connection throughout the hotel in a non-obvious manner and create a true art experience with each work being in dialogue with one another.
With that in mind three main chapters different series of works where created:
1. ‘Coastless’ | A tribute to Ulysses Journey | located at the Corridors
2. A. ‘Spices’ | A tribute to culture and gastronomy | located at the Restaurant
B. ‘Everyday Life’ | A tribute to the semiology of clothes and washing| located at the Spa
C. ‘Semiology of wood’ | A tribute to the uniqueness of life| located at the Bar
3. ‘Drifted Woods’ | A tribute to the role of wood as the savior of Ulysses back home| located at the guest rooms
