A summer night in 1944 in Kokkinia, Kosmas, a black marketeer, is out with his friends before he is arrested by the German patrol. The Germans push him to turn in people from the Resistance, or they will execute him. The next day, Kosmas wears a black hood and points at the combatants who have been forced to gather at the main square of the village. The film of the hyperrealist filmmaker and writer Adonis Kyrou, recreates the terrifying conditions of the blockade of Kokkinia, when, in the last period of the German occupation, the populous neighbourhoods of Athens resisted at any cost.
Inspired by the great European masters, from Renaissance to Art Nouveau, Berber’s works exemplify the deep, opaque whites of his journeys through the fairy tale landscapes of Bosnia to the dark, macabre burrows of Srebrenica.
In this piece, Żmurko presents an exotic image of a harem chamber, replete with gleaming fabrics and scattered jewels, as a setting for the statuesquely beautiful body of an odalisque murdered “at the order of the padishah”.
