LABORATORY OF DILEMMAS (teaser)
About
Laboratory of Dilemmas is based on the narrative sound and video installation presented in Greek Pavilion at Venice Biennial 2017, and is inspired by Aeschylus’ theater play "Iketides" (Suppliant Women), which poses a dilemma between saving the Foreigner or maintaining the safety of the Native. Addressing current global sociopolitical issues, the work deals with the anguish, puzzlement, and confusion of individuals and social groups when called upon to address similar dilemmas. Laboratory of Dilemmas focuses on the play’s dilemma through the excerpts of a scientific experiment. This experiment was never completed for unknown reasons, however the found excerpts reveal details of the experiment, as well as the hopes of the professor who envisioned it and the disagreements with his co-researchers.
