'The drawing above shows the spelling of a man’s name, Vasia, in Cyrillic characters. The symbols on each finger have specific coded meanings: “In life, only count on yourself,” is the meaning of the symbol on the first finger, and the three skulls on the third finger symbolize murders committed by the criminal.

A cross can indicate bondage, subordination, or slavery. Some tattoos are given involuntarily, as warnings or punishment for transgressions-sex offenders, for example, are frequently branded with a dagger running across their shoulder blades and through their necks.

αλεξάνδρεια, μέρες του 2005

αφορμή+αφιέρωση>>





στάση λεωφορείου, χειμωνιάτικη μέρα με ελαφριά σύννεφα. φρέσκα μπαρμπούνια στην ψαροταβέρνα της rue de crete. περπατάμε προς την αγορά. οι προσδοκίες της επίσκεψης αμβλύνονται από την ένταση της προηγούμενης νύχτας- όλο χαρά και δύναμις, αίσθημα κι ωραιότης... στο σπίτι της οδού σαρμ ελ σεϊχ, ο μουσταφά προσπαθεί από τα κείμενα και τις εικόνες στους τοίχους να καταλάβει... οι ομιλίες των φροντιστών του διαμερίσματος του δευτέρου ορόφου, τα βλέμματά μας, η απαγγελία μπλέκονται σ' ένα πρόχειρο-η κάμερα κάποια στιγμή αδικαιολόγητα πλαγίως-βίντεο.
