Appreciation towards The Krank for providing the following description:

艺术家The Krank在希腊科孚岛东北部的Erimitis创作了临时大地艺术装置”伤口”（Wound）。Erimitis是科孚岛东北部最后的大规模未开发海岸生态系统之一，装置正落于2021年开发工程中推土机碾压过的一片土地上。作品于2026年9月26–27日面向公众呈现，将大地艺术与在地参与相结合，唤起人们对这片景观未来的关注。居民与参观者所遇到的这件作品，既回应这个特定场所，也指向越来越多带有人类干预痕迹的自然景观。

Artist The Krank created Wound, a temporary land art installation, on a stretch of land crossed by bulldozers during the 2021 development works in Erimitis, one of the last large undeveloped coastal ecosystems in northeastern Corfu, Greece. Presented to the public on 26–27 September 2026, the work brought together land art and local participation to draw attention to the landscape’s future. Residents and visitors encountered an artwork that speaks both to this particular place and to the growing number of natural landscapes bearing the marks of human intervention.

在”伤口”中，环境被象征性地转化为一个身体。一道巨大的红色切口仿佛将大地剖开，黑色的缝线似乎将两侧拉拢。人们熟悉的身体创伤意象被转移到景观的尺度上，让自然环境的脆弱性通过我们自身身体所熟悉的事物变得切实可感。缝线为作品引入了人的存在——不仅是象征层面，也体现在创作过程之中。当地社区成员与Save Erimitis行动的参与者共同完成了缝线的制作与定位，使”缝合”这一行为本身成为一种集体姿态。这一姿态致敬多年来守护Erimitis的人们，也呼应任何保护受压之地的积极行动。”关怀”由此超越艺术隐喻，在面对掠夺与干预时获得了真实而集体的维度。缝线并不能抹去伤口或撤销创伤，而是将其合拢，为愈合创造可能的条件。

In Wound, the environment is symbolically transformed into a body. An oversized red incision appears to split the land open, while black stitches seem to hold its two sides together. A familiar image of bodily trauma is transferred to the scale of the landscape, making the vulnerability of the natural environment tangible through something we recognise from our own bodies. The stitches introduce a human presence into the work, not only symbolically but through the process of making it. Members of the local community and the Save Erimitis initiative took part in creating and positioning them, turning the act of stitching itself into a collective gesture. The gesture refers to those who have defended Erimitis for years, while also speaking more broadly to any active attempt to protect a place under pressure. Care therefore moves beyond artistic metaphor and takes on a real, collective dimension in response to exploitation and intervention. The stitches do not erase the wound or undo the trauma. They hold it closed, creating the conditions in which healing might become possible.

“在Erimitis创作的日子里，无论日晒雨淋，从清晨直到月亮升起，我走遍它的小径，也从海上靠近它。景观不断变化，而与日复一日守护它的当地人的接触，让我在短短几天内真正认识了这片土地。我无法再想象，这里的’开发’除了原样保护之外还能是任何别的样子。”

“While working on the artwork in Erimitis, under the sun and in the rain, from early morning until the moon rose, I walked its paths and approached it from the sea as well. The landscape was constantly changing, and my daily contact with the locals who have been defending it allowed me, within just a few days, to genuinely come to know this place. I can no longer imagine ‘development’ here as anything other than preserving it as it is.”

“伤口”并非置于Erimitis的任意位置。装置所在的地段，正是此前开发计划中推土机已经碾压过的区域。伤痕的象征意象因此落在了土地上真实的人类干预痕迹之上。关于Erimitis未来的争议始于2012年，当时希腊国有资产发展基金TAIPED启动了这块公有土地的开发程序。一年后，NCH Capital提交的约束性报价获批。随后的Kassiopi项目计划建设一处包括五星级酒店、多达40栋别墅和一座57泊位码头的开发。其规模与选址引发了严重的环境担忧——拟议开发涉及一片格外敏感、包含受保护湿地与海岸栖息地的生态系统——并激起居民与当地组织多年的动员。工程于2021年开工，但经过多年争议、法律行动与当地动员，原方案未能继续推进。据To Vima在2026年9月10日的报道，该地块似乎已处于与Calamos Investments有关联的投资集团控制之下；报道当时，完整且具约束力的新总体规划尚未公布。 “伤口”回应的正是这种不确定性，将早期工程留下的可见痕迹与艺术家对景观未来的追问连接起来。缝合的伤口恰恰存在于这一状态之中：它不将毁灭呈现为注定的结局，而是发问——一个已经受伤的地方，是否会被允许愈合，还是伤口将被再次撕开。

Wound was not placed at an arbitrary location in Erimitis. The installation was created on a section of the area where bulldozers had already passed during works connected to the previous development plan. The symbolic image of an injury was therefore positioned over a real trace of earlier human intervention in the land. The dispute over the future of Erimitis began in 2012, when Greece’s state asset development fund, TAIPED, initiated the process of developing the publicly owned site. A year later, the binding offer submitted by NCH Capital was approved. The Kassiopi Project that followed envisaged a development including a five-star hotel, up to 40 villas and a 57-berth marina. Its scale and location raised serious environmental concerns and prompted years of mobilisation by residents and local organisations, as the proposed development affected a particularly sensitive ecosystem containing protected wetlands and coastal habitats. Construction works began in 2021, but after years of dispute, legal action and local mobilisation, the original plan did not proceed. According to reporting published by To Vima on 10 September 2026, the property appeared to be under the control of an investment group connected to Calamos Investments. The article reported that a complete and binding new master plan had not been made public at that time. Wound responds to this uncertainty, connecting a visible trace of the earlier works with the artist’s questions about the landscape’s future. The stitched Wound exists within precisely this condition. Rather than presenting destruction as a foregone conclusion, it asks whether a place that has already been injured will be allowed to heal — or whether the wound will be opened again.

在为期两天的公众展示中，居民与参观者参加了由Save Erimitis与科学顾问共同带领的徒步活动，沿途了解该地区的生态丰富性及其生态系统的独特之处。即使对熟悉Erimitis的人来说，科学家的在场也提供了一种不同的方式，来阅读这片他们自以为熟知的景观。徒步路线的终点是”伤口”——科学知识在这里与艺术体验相遇。The Krank向公众介绍了这件作品，并围绕关怀与人类干预展开对话。关于Erimitis生态系统、生物多样性与生态价值的信息，通过与作品的相遇和随后的交谈，获得了另一重维度。

Over the two days of the public presentation, residents and visitors had the opportunity to take part in organised walks led by Save Erimitis together with scientific advisers, who introduced participants to the area’s ecological richness and the distinctive characteristics of its ecosystem along the route. Even for people already familiar with Erimitis, the presence of the scientists offered a different way of reading a landscape they thought they knew. The route culminated at Wound, where scientific knowledge met artistic experience. The Krank presented the work and opened a discussion with the public around care and human intervention. Information about the ecosystem, biodiversity and ecological value of Erimitis acquired another dimension through the encounter with the artwork and the conversation that followed.

Erimitis位于科孚岛东北端，介于Avlaki与Agios Stefanos之间。在相对紧凑的范围内，茂密的地中海林地、三处沿海湿地、礁石海岸与七个未开发的小海湾共存，构成岛上最复杂的自然镶嵌体之一。其生态意义从陆地延伸至海洋。该地区已记录数百种植物、数十种鸟类和超过200种海洋物种，广阔的波喜荡草（Posidonia）海草草甸覆盖着沿岸海床。三处湿地同时属于一个更大的生态体系，与对岸的阿尔巴尼亚海岸及受保护的布特林特国家公园相连。正是森林、湿地与海洋在一片几乎连续未开发的海岸带中的共存，使Erimitis成为弥足珍贵的自然生态系统——不仅对科孚岛，对整个伊奥尼亚地区亦是如此。

Erimitis lies at the northeastern tip of Corfu, between Avlaki and Agios Stefanos. Within a relatively compact area, dense Mediterranean woodland, three coastal wetlands, rocky shores and seven small undeveloped coves coexist, forming one of the island’s most complex natural mosaics. Its ecological significance extends from land to sea. Hundreds of plant species, dozens of bird species and more than 200 marine species have been recorded in the area, while extensive Posidonia seagrass meadows cover the seabed along the coast. The three wetlands also form part of a wider ecological system connected to the Albanian coast opposite and to the protected Butrint National Park. It is this coexistence of forest, wetlands and sea within an almost continuous undeveloped coastal zone that makes Erimitis an invaluable natural ecosystem, not only for Corfu but for the wider Ionian region.

The Krank是一位常驻雅典的希腊视觉艺术家。他的创作以大型场地特定装置、大地艺术与公共干预为核心，探索景观、集体记忆与当代社会议题之间的关系。通过作品，他将真实的地方转化为公众对话与集体反思的现场。他的作品曾在国际上多个文化与机构场合展出，包括伦敦巴比肯艺术中心、SLVV／德意志历史博物馆、Transmediale 2024、柏林世界文化宫的Typo Berlin、卡塞尔Documenta Halle、琉森文化与会议中心、作为联合国活动一部分的波恩世界会议中心、纽约Berry Campbell画廊，以及与英国文化教育协会合作的巴西SESI Lab，并参与了COP30期间世界卫生组织（WHO）的项目。

The Krank is a Greek visual artist based in Athens. His practice centres on large scale site-specific installations, land art and public interventions that explore the relationship between landscape, collective memory and contemporary social issues. Through his work, he transforms real places into sites of public dialogue and collective reflection. His work has been presented internationally across cultural and institutional contexts, including the Barbican Centre in London, SLVV / Deutsches Historisches Museum, Transmediale 2024 and Typo Berlin at Haus der Kulturen der Welt in Berlin, Documenta Halle in Kassel, Kultur- und Kongresszentrum Luzern in Lucerne, the World Conference Center Bonn as part of a United Nations event, Berry Campbell Gallery in New York, and in Brazil at SESI Lab in collaboration with the British Council, as well as within the World Health Organization (WHO) programme during COP30.
