Uncanny installation | Small worlds made out of collage

Collage, urban landscape of the immigrants and the Uncanny theory are the three basic elements of this project. My team and I, proposed the idea of the "experiential collage" as a picture that comes from the composition of fragmentary realities that we located in the modern urban environment of Athens. The significance of experiential collage results from the experiential relation of the flaneur, with multicultural Athens and the sentiments that one feels that are relevant to the Uncanny theory of Freud. Confusion, disorientation and loss of personal identity are some characteristics that one could feel as he/she walks in Athens.
Our purpose was to create an installation in the first work-site of Attic underground in Gazi, a multicultural neighbourhood of Athens. We were inspired by the phenomenon of multiculturalism in Athens 2008.

Tracking Shot | Cinematic Theatrical Performance

The Tracking Shot (2010) is a cinematic theatre piece that took place in Polverigi, Italy. The story is about an Italian actress who is dying and meets with an old friend, which is the director, and asks him as her last wish to reedit the final scene and change the end of a movie that they had done in the past. The play is their journey through the actress’ career and her collaborations with all those famous directors (Bertolucci, Fellini, Bergman, Godard, Lynch, and Hitchcock) that she worked with. This visual venture is a literal journey through her memories as the viewers are in a moving auditorium. More specifically, only six people can experience this journey because they are in a moving truck. The truck is completely dark and only at the front side there is a hole which is the frame through they can watch the performance.
