One week after we organised a "parasitic mezedes dinner" on the Ilissos river (see also: Mezedes on the Ilissos, dinner), Lena Violetta Leitner and I presented our collaborative project at State of Concept in Athens. At the gallery’s patio, visitors could listen to an audio recording of the dinner conversation and read the menu of questions and thoughts we had served our guests the week before. Violetta and I were also present to talk with visitors about their own ideas and personal experiences of rivers, water, Athens, parasites, and parasitic behaviour.
