Astra Papachristodoulou - Labyrinth

​

Astra is a poet and a Ph.D. student at the University of Surrey with focus in experimental writing and the neo-futurist tradition across poetry, visual art, and performance. She is the author of several pamphlets including Stargazing (Guillemot Press), and her work has been translated into Russian, Slovenian, and Spanish.

​

Her video showcases the object poem Labyrinth which is based on the classic labyrinth pinball game, where a participant places a metal ball on the board and twists the handles to reach their desired destination without falling into the board holes. The video gives a demonstration on how the poem can be played, as well as demonstrating its details in close-up shots.
