I’m Mary Marinopoulou, an audiovisual installation artist and curator with a BA in Theatre Studies and an MA in Photography and Mediated Arts. My work blends projections with dreamlike realities, and I’ve curated multimedia projects, including Mortality Check in Lithuania and Different Worlds in Slovenia.

Walking is central to my artistic practice and inspired my project Absorb Ensemble—a series of urban walks and imaginative explorations showcased in residencies in Lithuania and Bosnia. Through walking, I explore connections to community, the environment, and the self.

corpse road

Also known as corpse way, coffin route, coffin road, coffin path, churchway path, bier road, burial road, lyke-way or lych-way. “Now is the time of night, That the graves all gaping wide, Every one lets forth his sprite, In the church-way paths to glide” – Puck in Midsummer Night’s Dream. A path used in medieval times to take the dead from a remote parish to the ‘mother’ church for burial. Coffin rests or wayside crosses lined the route of many where the procession would stop for a while to sing a hymn or say a prayer. There was a strong belief that once a body was taken over a field or fell that route would forever be a public footpath which may explain why so many corpse roads survive today as public footpaths. They are known through the UK.
