Ένας πιλότος για πέταμα
1987
NRThe hot summer of '98. The "TITANIC" was on top... SEMITIS was at the bottom... But then the two abstract concepts turned upside down and tied themselves together like a knot. This is how the Karavi project came about. "Simititanic." The only "project" of public interest that was constructed in Greece without... a starter motor. It was made exclusively from transparent, traditional, pure inspection materials... such as satire, laughter, humor, and music. It is a project that calls a spade a spade. It vertically restructures the structures of inspection and horizontally probes the schizophrenia of the modern Greek, deeply marking the "Is" and "Appears" of our socio-political "Becoming."
