"I know I don´t" pencil on half transparent paper, (2x) 21x 28 cm; and audio track, 2005. Drawing publiced at the GAP magazine, issue 4, by Futura Editions, July 2005, Athens, GR. In this drawing Nikos Arvanitis is using a fragment from the song "Anarchy in the UK" by the Sex Pistols which was recorded at the end of the 70ies and combines it with a new sentence that he creates witch is the opposite of the first one. With this work Nikos Arvanitis refers to the social- political circumstances that influence the band to create this song and seeks to express the new existential problem that the individual faces in the society of our days. Apart of the drawing Nikos Arvanitis is taking the same audio fragment from the original recording and changes the order in which the words (lyrics) are being pronounced within this fragment and creates a new sentence with the opposite meaning of the original one. This new sample (sentence) is being played in a loop mode. The original sample (sentence) is appearing just once within the entire mix, exactly at the middle of it, to mark the difference between the original and new sample.
