Hollow Testament

Κενή Διαθήκη

This animation film implements the matching of a composite audiovisual multimedia work and a cascade of word, image and music. Original film material, archival and historical moments of film documents, music compositions and natural sounds, repeating movements, narrative dialogues and monologues of persons, fragmentary silences, expressions, landscapes, voices and noises, all contribute to reshaping the spectral diversity of the author’s endeavour. The extracts of the film material appear as tesserae of the cinema’s metalanguage. What matters is the presentation of an audiovisual word, in way that preserves the delinquent writing, the power of expression and the valuable components of the paradigmatic narrative field founded in the Hollow Testament by Paris Tacopoulos.
