Acropolis, 2001, 2004 26 min
“Acropolis” explores the significance of a Greek national symbol in the creation of national identity and collective memory. In the place of a concrete, victorious memory, the film juxtaposes “another” memory, that of the senses, the memory of the body.
By drawing a parallel between the “sacred rock” and the female body, the film makes a comment on the timeless exploitation of the monument. At the same time it poses questions on the relationship of History and Pornography.
