The animation wants to depict forms of power that exist in the everyday lives of people. All as productive members of the economic system, we produce economic benefits that we can not consume or enjoy either due to lack of free time or due to tax etc. Each member suffers from the so-called institutionalization, that is, the inner fear that creates impotence and makes it unlikely a change-pause-disengagement from a daily routine that does not serve any need of a social member beyond survival. If we try to break these seeming chains, our future as social members, is ominous. The above situations do not differ much from the everyday life of a prisoner, who works for economic gains of state mechanisms respectively, has no choice to resist what is imposed on him and suffers from institutionalization. The state daily interferes with human life through various mechanisms such as education, military service, self-discipline, the ubiquitous panopticism that seemingly struggles to identify the unregulated, non-disciplined individual. They all emphatically espouse the above situations by making the difference as a defect. So how do institutions of imprisonment not be widely accepted when they are familiar pathways that are visible on a daily basis as they are imposed as mechanisms of transformation of individuals. As long as life in the state is the only scenario, Closure and Isolation mechanisms will stigmatize and undermine diversity.

This Love / Cet Amour 05:05
Greece 2018
Directed by: Antonis Kyritsanis
Production/School: thavmacinema
Subtitles language: Greek

Experimentation on Jacques Prevert's poetry. The poem "cet amour" is a hymn to love which is embedded in the eternal nature. A ruling and powerful love, floating in the universe a priori. The love that extends from the infinite white to the infinite black in all its appearances and conflicts. The love which incarnates and transforms into the fiery red colour, the pathogenic, bloody, generating red colour, which has no beginning and no end.

Ως νεκρικό πορτρέτο Φαγιούμ, το βλέμμα του Ποιητή που «εκόμισε εις την Τέχνη» «κάτι μισοειδωμένα, πρόσωπα ή γραμμές» διακρίνει με την κόχη του ματιού την περιφορά ψυχών στην κώχη του Ματιού. Οπτικοακουστικό επίγραμμα εις μνήμην. Εις μάτην. As a mummy portrait of Fayum, the gaze of the Poet who "brought to Art" "things half glimpsed, faces or lines" distinguishes with the corner of his eye the souls procession at Mati's little corner. Audiovisual epigram in memory. To no avail.
