I ritualise through a performance to camera the coming to terms with the loss of my partner, Sandra Lahire. A journey of mourning incorporates this staging both for myself and for the camera / audience. The film explores the relationship between the hallucinatory power of the phantom of memory with that of the phantom ingrained in the photograph, film or video. (Sarah Pucill)

An intercorporeal study in two parts, carried out entirely by two women in search of their own mental structures, their own poetics, their own language. One films the other. Katerina's inner space acted out by herself and watched/filmed by Maria. Maria's inner space acted out by herself and watched/filmed by Katerina. Interchangeable functions. An attempt to overcome the classic subject/object, act/transcribe, see/be seen dichotomies. The camera as an extension of the body, an eye that touches. (Maria Klonaris & Katerina Thomadaki, 1976)
