    Title: '4TH DIALOGUE: The Fascism of Pregnancy'

    The videos presented in the three screens of the installation are part of the documentary archive “Dialogue Series”.
    Like the symposiums in ancient Greece, the “Dialogue Series” is a collection of dialogues and
    intellectual discussions developed in the domestic environment of the artist’s family house in Greece, Athens.
    The documents are filmed using a passive style with the camera statically positioned, evoking a still framing of the space.
    The “Dialogue Series” started since April 2005, contains up to now nine dialogues. (April 2005 – August 2006).
