Janis Rafailidou

[8] This piece consists of three videos shot in 4K, 2.40:1 with stereo sound, namely: Father Gravedigger (20’); Our Dead Dogs (17’); The Last Burial (25’).

[11] The trilogy evades anthropocentric conceptions of death, mourning and melancholia, framing them in a post-human narrative.

[11] Each video narrates a burial, exploring the common vulnerability and shared pain between humans and non-humans.

[11] The work exemplifies Rafalidou's cinematic narrative as characterised by a realism suspended between personal impression and actuality.

The film is set in a surrealist universe created by Rafalidou and filled with landscapes, animals, living and dead bodies.
