«I am Dying as Country» - Dimitris Dimitriadis (2012-13)
Description
The performance "I die like Country" by Dimitris Dimitriadis, continues to be a source of inspiration for all of us since 1978, which was first released to this day. The deep faith of this man in the power of "the words in life" creates the modern, lasting power of salvation.
In parallel requires the assumption of our responsibilities, in an active way.
The meanness of human existence and the demolition of its value till today, in our country as well as almost in all the planet, no longer leaves any room for complacency, reassuring and procrastination. "The language premeditatedly ceased to be spoken" as we enabled the words to lose their power and their value. This inevitably led us to lose the person and eventually our own selves.
We forgot to talk and write and we have closen into ourselves. We ensconced ourselves in the offered, outdated recipes of conveniences. We created "predators" societies and we have already begun to believe in the theory of the deadend. We may "hate this country" but at the same time deep within us, we incubate the question: "... But what will become of it without us? What it will be when nothing would be left of us ...? " Deadends do not exist,and for this we accord with the words of the author himself:" The immortality is the words. The kingdom of heaven is a soul speaking rampantly. "
