WHAT WE ASK OF A STATUE IS THAT IT DOESN’T MOVE
Greece, France | 2024 | 31’
Nothing seems to be moving in Athens and the people are as still as statues. But elsewhere in the city, a Caryatid escapes the museum and a small groupuscule demands the destruction of all antiquities. Perhaps filming is the only way to avoid turning into stone.
