Oxymoron

2017Carte Blanche
To Kostis Argyriadis, there is a past city inside every man. Some keep it to themselves, others tame it and will wear it like a second skin. Walking through the city, human beings end up becoming one with it. The observant awaits, watches, is on the lookout for his prey to bring out of it how beautiful, how ugly, how peaceful, how dynamic, how wholeheartedly materialistic and how vain it can be. Those sequences that have surrealist atmospheres add up to produce a self-portait.
