WHAT I KNOW ABOUT HER<br />
Va n g e l i s K o l o t s i o s<br />
If at some point you’ve ever dreamt of staging a screening<br />
on the rooftop of your block of flats, then Vangelis Kolotsios’<br />
event will certainly grant you your wish. The futuristic images<br />
of Metropolis meet the pop sensibilities of Two or Three<br />
Things I Know About Her in a screening about the change to<br />
and the evolution of the urban landscape. One block of flats<br />
becomes a cinema, and two films about the city converse<br />
with Thessaloniki itself.<br />
The installation includes two films: The futuristic-looking Metropolis,<br />
under the authority of the overseer, the sole tyrant commanding<br />
both machine and development; and, the pop-tinged<br />
Two or Three Things I Know About Her, ruled by a contemporary<br />
society led by multiple choice, consumption and the mask of<br />
modernisation. This unique pairing draws out various issues and<br />
raises many points, which could be interpreted by the viewer in<br />
a variety of ways (as can occur in the case of almost any film).<br />
The visitor walks inside the block of flats, juxtaposing it with the<br />
world found in his or her mind, as the installation forms a course<br />
/ evolution with a beginning, middle and end. This is rearranged<br />
according to the direction chosen-from the Entrance of questioning,<br />
to the Lift of the Word, to the Rooftop of the society of<br />
the spectacle and the areas of consumption (and the reverse).
