For Silent Night, curator Panos Fourtoulakis invites Eleni Bagaki, Nicolas Cilins, Manolis D. Lemos, Katerina Komianou, Louiza Ntourou, and Eleni Tomadaki – six artists who reside in the broader neighbourhood of Plateia Vathis, where the curator himself also lives – to share and reflect on the dreams they have experienced or imagined through silent moving images. These personal, private experiences each of them had in close physical proximity to one another – will be publicly projected together in a loop across Vatsaxi Street.

Silent Night approaches the often-quiet street as a scenography where personal explorations of unconscious experiences become embedded with the urban landscape. Passersby can experience these images over the night hours of Thursday, December 19, from 22:00 onwards. A second iteration of the project will take place in late January 2025, with dates to be announced soon.

This project marks the beginning of a collaboration between Panos Fourtoulakis and 3 137 as part of its 2024–2025 program Where Time Becomes a Loop. The program will focus on artists’ moving image practices – experiments in a medium that has been underrepresented over the years in the Greek art scene.
