‘Through the use of blur, Lis Rhodes in Just About Now (1993), reproduced on an Arts Council publicity postcard, abstracts the video image in a painterly fashion. Video as a palette of shape, form and colour is powerfully translated.’– Esther Johnson

Poster for When My Mother's Brother Was Born, It Smelled Like Wild Pear Blossom in Front of the Brown-Burnt Sill

1992 · ★ 1.0 (1)

The video drifts between reason and dream and, like the installation, floats between earth and sky. Rist tries to give answers to such questions as ‘How much of what you see and hear comes from outside and how much is constructed by your brain? Why does your hair grow out of your head as if your skull was a cornfield?’.

Poster for They Parlaient Idéale

2019 · ★ 0.0 (0)

Representing an escapist journey, both tangible and imaginary, towards an “ideal” elsewhere, They Parlaient Idéale is based on a script co-written by Laure Prouvost and various contributors, in French and English with some Italian, Arabic and Dutch passages. An array of characters are performed by people of different ages and backgrounds with specific performance skills that include magic, dance, and music. The cast recount tales throughout their travels, and find common ground through their shared desire to pursue their individual talents. The featured architectures throughout the group's journey reflect the notion of utopia and the ways in which it has previously been pursued, such as the Tours Nuages of the Cité Pablo Picasso in Nanterre, built between 1973 and 1981.

Poster for Places That Do Not Exist (Goggle Earth 1.0)

2009 · ★ 0.0 (0)

The project Places that do not Exist (Goggle Earth 1.0) consists of a series of portraits and films of places which do not appear on Google Earth, which we travelled to in order to document their true appearance through vid- eos and photographs, which in the installation were then contrasted with the false vision which we see on Google Earth. These were military grounds and training camps, govern- ment buildings, natural parks where speculators have constructed illegal apartment blocks, nudist beaches... in Spain, Colombia, Ecuador, Russia and Australia. The catalogue of land- scapes which, for various reasons, Google Earth glosses over is endless and often very surprising. The project therefore confronts this unrealistic and yet supposedly objective view of Google Earth from a realistic (yet nevertheless subjective) point of view of the ground-level images we have of these places which, in spite of eve- rything, do exist.

Poster for Kostis Papagiorgis, the Sweetest Misanthrope

2018 · ★ 7.0 (1)

Documentary/portrait of one of the most important Greek essayists. In this portrait of Kostis Papagiorgis we follow the story of the essayist's life from his birth in 1947 to his death in 2014, discovering the way his writings develop and how his character is reflected in them. All those who meet Kostis Papagiorgis through reading his books find in him a good friend, a teacher, a guide, a perfect interlocutor, a comrade. Even though he never appeared on television avoiding self-exhibition like the plague, he was very well known and his appeal to the public has always been great. Behind his sharpness and irony, as he wrote mostly on the negative aspects of things, he was a warm and tender man, and this shone through in his work. Through his acute inner gaze and self-knowledge, Kostis Papagiorgis, who is probably the most important essayist of contemporary Greece, meditates deeply on the Human Condition.

One of my earliest memories is the view of the mountain opposite, where my mother was born in during the war while the family was in hiding. She's buried down in the valley. I can't see it, but I'm very aware of it. I observe how this view changes with the hours of the day...
