KONSTANTINOS TSAVELAS: UNREAL CITY





























In this work, I study the material and, consequently, the spiritual decadence of the city. I push myself deep into the body of the city, in order to achieve the mental state that will bring me even closer to this decadence. I wonder around the paths of the multiple words out there. I discuss and experiment with extreme situations; however, I come across bright paths there. Conversely, in the so-called average spots, I see the really miserable picture surrounding us.

The predominant products around us are synthetic. Tires, plastic toys, and lifeless horses. I walk, blind, between scrap metal and shattered walls. We light fires using a beautiful wrapping, a patched civilization, we are experiencing a spectacular nightmare.

The city does not exist.
