"Ceci n’est pas une fleur", 1’, Fenia Kotsopoulou, Lincoln (UK), 2020
"Perhaps it is time to return to that repressed entity, the female imaginary" (Luce Irigaray)
This is not a flower. This is a (re-)imagined site of female (self)pleasure, to be unfolded, to be discovered through its multiple layers.
A one minute video in which papaver rhoeas is used to celebrate the multiplicity of the female body in search for self-pleasure.
"Σεμέν (Semén)", 8’, Metatheodosia, GR, 2016
This performance is an attempt to escape societal and family values as they are taught along with the socialization of a person who is assigned female at birth in a greek (sic) social context. Metatheodosia plays with symbols of domesticity and reappropriates them in order to bring them out to broad daylight, along with different kinds of hidden matter, such as menstruation blood. The dystopian soundtrack of family gatherings, among those a wedding at the church is projected on Metatheodosia’s body, on the doilies (σεμέν), on the landscape
"Carmela’s Garden", 5.43', Prokne, GR, 2018
Prokne resides within a room-palace of domesticity. She takes care of her beloved objects as she sets up an identity with them. She is the queen and they are her subjects. She exists through them and vice versa. Only together they both make sense. She is wearing pearls and she becomes a pearl herself. Prokne makes sex and the sound of pleasure overwhelms the palace. The enjoyment is not visible, but there is. This video performance has no answers, just questions: how sex relates to reproduction? Does the pleasure fit into the domesticity? Can repetition be creative and subversive?
"GOLFE", 17’, Fil Ieropoulos and Athanasios Anagnostopoulos, GR, 2018
Eine bukolische Drama an der deutsch-griechischen Freundschaft
The poor and orphaned Golfo is a beautiful young shepherdess who services the chief shepherd Zisis. She finds love in the eyes of a lad in the region, the shepherd Tassos. While sieged by the rich kid in the area, Kitsos, she refuses his proposals and remains faithful to the love vows exchanged with Tasos. The two youngsters are engaged and about to marry when Tasos gets a pressing matchmaking for him by Kitsos, who suggests he should marry the cousine and daughter of the chief shepherd, Stavroula, instead. Despite the initial immediate denial, Tasos is eventually lured by the large dowry and takes Stavroula as his wife, abandoning Golfo. The young girl is desperate, loses her mind and curses Tasos. Shortly before the wedding, the almost insane by that point Golfo lifts the curse and wishes them happiness. Tasos, shaken by the greatness of her love, changes his mind and runs to her, but it is already late: Golfo has poisoned herself and dies in his arms. Tasos commits suicide at her side.
"Piedad", 16’, Naya Pascual (TheOutdoorCat), Berlin, 2018
Rodolfa and Maria Antonieta, two sexworkers with a deep passion for spliffs and trap music, hang around all day at their workplace: a magic garden at an abandoned airport ground in Berlin. When their colleague Asunción suddenly appears with the corpse of a dead client, they discover how easily sexual desire can cross the borders between the living and the deceased. A tragicomedy that explores ideas never touched before... “Because death really suits some people well”!
"SACRED GULPS", 17’, Eggs and legs, GR, 2018
This film is a collection of twisted Christian Orthodox tales performed by unsavory characters. These lustful beasts are unleashing pleasure and disgust, an explosive power designed to throw open the Gates of Hell.
“HUNGER”, 6.47'', Kangela Tromokratisch and Lia Smaragda, GR, 2020
In times of famine, mother Kangela shows her daughter how to survive. This movie nods to 70s german porn and the qrotesque.
"THE WAITRESS", 1’, Fenia Kotsopoulou, Lincoln (UK), 2018
This videoperformance is part of the long term project: DEVIANT WOMEN, a series of still and moving image about female representations which don't conform to societal norms.
