Athens, my love

An essay-film which looks for mnemic traces of major political events inscribed in the body of the metropolitan entity of Athens. It focuses on case-studies of a counter-hegemonic history, from the mid-20th century till the early 21st century, in which the logos and praxis of individual or collective subjects have been suppressed till death. These are cases that an official history has either neglected or cleansed of their association with insurrectionist potential. The film develops around interviews with architects and historians, makes use of archive material and also employs fictional elements – all of which are contextualised by a voice-over dialogue. “Athens, my love” looks for space between formal monumentalisation mechanisms (which claim objectivity) on the one hand and personal fragments of memory (which often lie in the domain of subjective contemplation) on the other.

Τhis piece refers to a suffocating relationship between a father and a son. This oppressive relationship is expressed by the father’s obsessive calls to the son to come and eat his food warm. The son lives in an imperative rhythm of breakfast/lunch/dinner with few getaways because his father never stops calling him, while having a piercing voice. The father lives in a rhythm of constant orthostatic food production. A very elastic son, a very rigid father. A piece of wood, also rigid, who attracts the son. She had been washed by the sea. The highest boiling temperature is at sea-level. Splashing and seething became one. Apnea and immersion in his father’s pot, which is the symbol of his influence, eventually are leading to his release. He tightened so tight on her that for the first time he was stabilised. They were swept away from the waves and while floating they turned into furniture.
