ONEIRIC FLOAT & DRIFTING SOULS

ONEIRIC FLOAT
There is a hidden surreal dimension within the city of Venice. This almost non-visible world can reveal itself only if you give in your soul to the illusions of light. Deambulation was the medium through which I explored the unconscious zones of this hidden city. As a sensorial hunter, I was collecting spontaneous moments from this surreal world through an “urban drift.” The film is an observation of the neglected oneiric worlds that exist in urban reality. Instead of recording the city of the banal I got lost in an erratic journey to another dimension.
DRIFTING SOULS
The project focuses on the suffering body of Athens which refers both to the degradation of the city skin and its inhabitants as a result of the long lasting socioeconomic and refugee crisis. Although Athens is out of the spotlight, the crisis is far from over: The city has more problems than one knows or cares to see and admit.
