Efstathios Apostolidis

 

MA Computer Animation

 I love reading poetry, this is partly how I became involved with this project. My aim is to produce an animation inspired by a poem called "The sonata of moonlight" that was written by a famous Greek poet, Giannis Ritsos. The basic motive of the poem is a form of social disclosure. The following poem is one of my favorites in which you can come across many similarities with my project.
The windows
In these darkened rooms, where I spend
oppresive days, I pace to and fro
to find the windows. -- When a window
opens, it will be a consolation. --
But the windows cannot be found, or I cannot
find them. And maybe it is best that I do not find them.
Maybe the light will be a new tyranny.
Who knows what new things it will reveal.
Constantine P. Cavafy (1903)
