Simon Tsakiris describing the actions
of Dimitris Papaioannou’s Inside (2011)
μπαίνω μέσα βγάζω το μπουφάν βγάζω τα παπούτσια μου μπαίνω στο μπάνιο κάνω ντους σκουπίζομαι. πάω στην κουζίνα τρώω κάτι πίνω νερό βγαίνω στο μπαλκόνι κοιτάζω έξω. ξαναμπαίνω ξαπλώνω στο κρεβάτι σκεπάζομαι.
[ή αλλιώς]

Translated for the love of it (twice – five years apart, in 2011 and 2016, for different purposes).
This short poetic text by Simon Tsakiris (who also performed) was used to build a graphic documentation of the full (six-hour-long) Inside choreography for the installation/performance’s programme book.
Initially collaged by hand (with paper and scissors and paste) in partnership with the performers, this textual trace of bodies moving through space was laid out by Antidot Design Studio (Christopher Brellis, Eleni Mitrou) across twenty-eight pages.
