Description

Three monitor video work that ran the length of the gallery framed by neon signs that spelt out words in the mis-spellings of the artist’s Greek Australian childhood – chocols for chocolate, minosaur for minotaur and liberary for library. A strong autobiographical element combined into a poetic meditation on the history of languages, of film, of art and stories of the artist and his family.
