Angel is a young gay man living very discreetly in an unfriendly and barren social milieu. The time comes for him to fall in love. Michael is an experienced and able “professional” who invites him to live and have an affair with him. Angel has nothing to lose by deserting his family home: an alcoholic father, a hysterical mother worn out by work and a disabled sister. The film's aim is to focus the spectators' attention on situations that exist beyond the police records, harshly illuminating the dark sides and the social discrimination in Greek society. It also provides a wider gaze on the problem of solitude and of freedom in modern society.
“The portrait tells us that there is an inner and an outer dimension of the human condition; it provides—or should provide—information about both the physical and psychological character of an individual.”
Our Doublethink Double vision exhibition’s title alludes to George Orwell’s seminal work 1984 and presents a selection that includes Tracey Emin, Marcel Dzama, Anselm Kiefer, Bruce Nauman, Raymond Pettibon, and Thomas Ruff, as well as Turkish artists, tracing the steps of pluralistic thought through works of art.
