Titel: Greek Perspective

Walking.
When I walk, I'm usually in thought or I'm talking to someone.
I think in German. I speak in German. But there is still Greek.
My mom and my grandma are from Cyprus.
I am half cypriot.
When I speak in Greek I feel like a child.
This is not me talking, not the world I usually see.
Everything changes with a “Greek Perspective”.

In my performance I talk and think in Greek.
I describe my environment in Greek and through that I notice and I engage with things I would otherwise just walk past. I wouldn't even notice them in the first place.
You can see and hear what this perspective looks like.
You can hear and read my thoughts and listen to how I practice and learn the words I was missing by talking to my grandma. She translates them with her green pencil and finds all my spelling errors.
I did this performance many times, because the film development failed and failed and failed again. But I continued and walked the same path over and over again.
The motifs I took changed. Some things disappeared and others showed up.
As a photo developer I used wall barley and fleagan
that I picked up while I did my performance.
I just found them interesting and decided to develop my images with them.


Have a look on my film

The development failed but if you use the flashlight on your phone you can still see the pictures appearing.
