The title of the exhibition is inspired by the opening sentence of a 2019 Forbes article revealing a secret spying operation in the coastal city of Larnaca. Starting from this apparently harmless anecdote which introduces the theme of ghosting and continuing with other stories of clandestine operations and global intelligence interceptions occurred in Cyprus, the Pavilion takes on the quasi-fictional facade of an agency called Forever Informed, both as a real entity and as a virtual presence on social media. Alongside sculptural, audiovisual, and spatial interventions, the exhibition includes a vigilant workspace as a reminder of the need to carefully observe everything around us just as those practicing ghosting do: silent and attentive.
