Greece

  • The more I think about the Greece pavilion the more I like it. At first the films presented seem long and somewhat boring or at least don't overtly catch your attention but as you go through each film you can slowly put together the puzzle. The film shows a lonely man in some lonely city looking for scrape to sell to recycle companies, But on this day the man is really down on his luck and ends up getting his own thing he found stolen only to then find a bouquet of origami flowers made out of money. What these films mean is certainly up to interpretation but the place were they filmed it seemed reminiscent of post war or a place where people simply have leafed, which made for an eerie setting. The Pavilion is called History Zero, the artist was Stefanos Tsivopoulos.
