white movement

White Movement from Sassa Nikolakouli on Vimeo.

Finally, the video!

Our project is a 7 minutes video of white paint falling slowly on a plexi-glass surface hiding the view of London Bridge and people crossing it. It is called “White Movement” borrowing characteristics from the use of word movement as a statement, while at the same time carrying a colour that indicates perfect simplicity and elimination of any meaning that can be given to it. It is all and nothing at the same time. It is the “White” outside its own “Cube” of meanings ready to be given. It is a free demonstration through a group work.

In the mood

I am in the mood, guys! My apologies for that!

So summer is gone,

leaving no epitaph

It's still warm in the sun,

only that's not enough.

All that true could have come,

like a five-figured fluff,

folded into my palm,

only that's not enough.

No evil was slighted

in the good aftermath

world was festively lighted,

only that's not enough.

Like forever was tucking,

caring, making me laugh.

I was really lucky,

only that's not enough.

No leaves ever seared,

no limbs broken rough.

Day, like glass, washed all cleared,

only that's not enough

-Arseny Tarkovsky-

STOP PROPAGANDA ON PEOPLE'S MINDS

stop the propaganda that countries create!

always think above that!

move towards an upper level!

I swear to you, that the view is much more better when we see things of the human being's perspective!

keep all the philosophers and high thinkers of your countries!

think, as the universal cosmos surrounds you and not your country!

the human nation needs ART!

make the human nation, artists of their lives and not somebody else's life!

think about that, the next time that you have racist feelings towards another person next to you!

make love instead, make art, make victory for the liberation of humans' minds!

the artists have a mission!

to unite, not to separate!

peace and prosperity!

xxx! ;) :)

Trisha Brown- Roof Piece (1976)

I was walking once again in south bank. It was a week day late in the afternoon. Distant details were painted with darkness. The sky held the last details of the day light. I noticed London Bridge in the background. I saw a dark river crossing the bridge, hurrying to the other end. This stream was consisting of dark bullets moving close to one another. Forming a mass of darkness, highlighted by the dark yet vivid blue of the sky. These dark figures seemed like phantoms crossing the bridge trying to make it to the other end. Up the stairs I went, reaching the level of the bridge. An unsettling feeling occupied me as I was seeing only people in costumes/business suits forming this powerful mass of people flowing through the bridge. A monochrome view of people emerging from a horror movie. Color was absent. Only "phantoms" everywhere! It reminded me of Iain Sinclair's writings with all its gothic aspects referring to that place. I quickly moved away thinking over the meaning of Guy Debord's words: "human beings can see nothing around them that is not their own image; everything speaks to them of themselves. Their very landscape is alive".

Square yourself with WHO

square yourself each side up

Right angled and clean out floored finally lying low flat broke and quiet down here.
