HOW TO PROJECT AND SPELL

collective film, Kullukcu and Gregorian Gallery, Munich, 2014 & Chisenhale Gallery, London, 2014

"How to project and spell" is a portmanteau film, colliding documentary, dramatic and experimental approaches. It is the result of an ongoing collaboration between students from the Athens School of Fine Art and the Akademie der Bildenden Künste, Munich. Developed from shared research, workshops and discussions, this filmic experiment captures the mood of the present moment as experienced and reflected by it’s authors.

Scenarios range from a reworking of Lucian’s “Death Dialogues”, to explorations of the antagonistic architecture of student housing, childhood nightmares, Nietzsche’s “Genealogy of Morals”, fear and desire, escapism, the changing symbolism of the “Zombie” and the image of “Europe” to an interview with the 95 year old Erich Haas, who participated in the history of gender politics in post-war Germany and Greece.

The film is accompanied by a shared publication and a survey of perceptions of time inspired by the writings of Lazzarato, Berardi, Deleuze and Guattari.
