Annabelle

Annabelle is a site-specific performance that took place in the giant burnt rooms of the Psiloritis Refrigerators. The performance was inspired by a Zoroastrian funeral rite performed by our friend Nikos Branidis for his cat, Annabelle. Zoroastrians used to leave their deceased loved ones in the highest points of the city, singing hymns that call the vultures to feed on our deceased loved ones. In the performance, we utilized the natural acoustic properties of the space to invite the birds or to transform ourselves into them. The performance was accompanied by texts from Soren Kierkegaard and Giorgos Efthimiou.

    The Dinner In the moment that society consumes everything at a fast pace, with less and less thinking and feeling, humans have become products. This cannibalistic dinner, is an allegory, about the form that human relationships have taken in the developed world.

    Magic Curtain The curtain enhances the desertedness of the space. “Obviously somebody tried to make themselves at home“, the driver sadly thinks while passing by. I found this mythical quote in Roadside Picnic by Arkady and Boris Strugatsky, 1972: „When you look at the curtain, you are overcome with a deep sense of happiness, but…
