Babis Venetopoulos

Man was standing still, feeling invincible and completely free from his guilt. At the same time, immersed in oblivion, he refused to see the reality and could not recognise his weaknesses and now, he is falling. He feels surprised in front of the void. He is vulnerable, disoriented and weak without any mechanisms of defence. He endlessly continues to be building the Tower of Babel. And if the scaffolding collapses, he will continue to build over the ruins, as he has been doing for centuries.

We live in a world built on human corpses. We produce a culture emerging from collective graves, prisoners’ tortures, family violence and repression. A place composed of fragmented knowledge, crushed emotions, memory loss and fallen angels. An era in which even before the exorbitant smell of the warfare camps was extinguished, new crematoria began to be built, technologically superior and odourless this time.
