In the video „REPOS (Disappearance)“ Nikos Arvanitis edits the first 2
minutes of the film „REPOS“, directed by Vassilis Vafeas in 1982, and
eliminates the dominant image of the Acropolis from the centre of the
picture. How might Athens of 1980s, as presented in the film, function
without the weight of the monument?
In the triptych „REPOS (Appearance)“ Nikos Arvanitis edits screen-shots
from the film. He colors elements of the cinematographic architectural
space giving it new substance and existence.
