In this film, Tsemberopoulos deals with the small “insignificant” dramas that are played out every day in contemporary Athenian apartment buildings that never hit the front pages of the dailies or the evening news. Christos, who is 22, wants to hit the big time, become famous, and make money. But it is Michalis, Marina's husband and Fanny's father, who has the money. Marina is a woman who sacrifices herself for her husband and kids. Fanny, 18, a would-be swimming champ, is already in love with him. Then there is Roula, his hot-blooded girlfriend who loves him. The protagonist in Tsemberopoulos' film is our next-door neighbor, the lady in the apartment building across the street, the kid who rented the semi-basement studio.
It was a quiet night in the dessert. Even the mice weren’t around. A few LEDs blinked in the dark, and the sound of a fan filled the infinite void. The conversation cutting the silence seemed to go nowhere.
The exhibition “Look At Me! Portraits and Other Fictions from the ”la Caixa” Contemporary Art Collection” examined portraiture, one of the oldest artistic genres, through a significant number of works of our times. Paintings, photographs, sculptures and videos shaped a labyrinth of gazes that invite spectators to reflect themselves in the social mirror of portraits.
The series of paintings depicting the audience ceremonies of European ambassadors hold a unique place among the works of Jean-Baptiste Vanmour of Valenciennes, who lived in İstanbul from 1699 until his death in 1737.
