Tassos Vrettos
"The Hole Argument" - Athens International Film Festival
September 8, 2010–September 18, 2010The Breeder, Athens
Tassos Vrettos’s exhibition “The Hole Argument” is part of the special focus of the Athens International Film Festival on the theme of the Hole; it is a journey of associations through the extended material of the subject. His multilayered photographic essay, “The Hole Argument”, is presented as a small, collective “exchange of arguments”.
This limited-edition publication complements the exhibition. It is the first issue of the “Hedgehog” series by the artist team Saprofyta. In this edition, as in the exhibition, Tassos and a group of friends and interlocutors (Nadia Argyropoulou, Marina Vranopoulou, Vasia Lyri, Malvina Panagiotidi, Yorgos Tzirtzilakis) attempt a series of “cross readings” of the asymmetrical, rich material referring to the notion of the Hole. He provides the team with photographs that function as pointers; the team responds with texts that assume the place of images. The intermittent dialogue develops by chance, while the path of the final narration turns sideways; it is not always easy to read and it tends to become imperfect.
