Andreas Angelidakis

Vessel

Andreas Angelidakis

In Andreas Angelidakis' "Vessel" our screens are the vases of Ancient Greece—devices for communication, consumption, immersion and alienation. By recalling Diogenes the Cynic, who lived in a pithos with his dog and from where he denounced the wrongs of society and trolled other thinkers, the film conflates past, present and future to reflect about the material and immaterial cultures and infrastructures that shape our lives.
