It would be nice to follow you | 2018 | Short
A portrait of a couple becomes the experimental navigation into pregnancy, intimacy, and partnership through the cityscape of Athens.

Traumgefängnis | 2015 | Videoinstallation
This video installation is about the selective choices of what should be portrayed as to belong to diaries, or in the film making process: to be out of the frame and out of the final cut, and show how much we own, as anthropologists, to what is not revealed, to what is hidden. It is about the margins, where our fears, passions, boredom, person and intimate thoughts, the things which show truthfully our failure as modern beings usually are a secret well kept in our field diaries, and should remain a secret.
