FLOWERS AND BOTTOMS
Christos Massalas
Experimental / Greece / 2016
An unidentified man sits in a dark room and watches an obscure film titled “Flowers and Bottoms”. The film is a narrative of “still lifes” featuring flowers and human bottoms. The setup is inspired by the practice of ‘cyber roulette’. The flowers are there, adorning every scene of our life - from the first instance of romance to the long hours of mourning. The bottoms are there, vulgar and erogenous, concealed under the notion of obscenity for most of our life. But, in the confines of privacy, they are exposed to the gaze of the other. Here, a variety of blossoms and bottoms co-exist humorously in a love-letter to those private glances, which we all share. Constantly watching and constantly being watched by the modern-day voyeur, who sits in the dark, bound to his own, personal ‘window’ into the private lives of others.
Films are demonstrated in their original language with English subtitles.
