Exercises of Freedom series of 34 videos, total 47mins in Greek with English subtitles 34 short experimental videos, presented as a video installation, imagined a fictional queer person’s experience of their national identity, national history, European politics and art. The experimental series of 34 short episodes was presented first online and later screened as a video installation at the exhibition Resurrection with Documena @ Athens Biennale 2017 Waiting for the Barbarians. The title "34 Exercises of Freedom" was inspired by the eponymous public programme of documenta14 conceptualised by Paul Preciado. The series was created as a critical-satyrical response to that programme. • "34 exercises is a full work-out programme exploring various new ways of exercising Eleftheria (≠Freedom) in a contemporary authentic Greek context. It is not meant for domestic use only but rather seeks to expand on a Pan-Hellenic and Pan-European scale and beyond. The 34 exercises are governed by ancient Greek as well as contemporary Hellene demo-cratic principles. Documena is once again generously sharing their indigenous queer values with the world."
