Modern Greek History

Modern Greek History through the display of the female body in public.
How the body reflects social and political relations in time. From the cultural innovations traditionally reported in the Greek history to the attempts of westernazitation and finally to protest.

Part 1: Daphnis and Chloe (1931), Greek film directed by Orestis Laskos. The first nude scene in European cinema.

Part 2:  Patistas, cosmetics (1980), produced by Pavlos Pissanos. The first Greek television commercial of cosmetics, characteristic of the time of Metapolitefsi (the era after the Junta of 1967-1974) in such an extent that for most Greeks the theme from Rocky (Gonna Fly Now) is associated with cosmetics instead of boxing; Patistas is occasionally broadcasted till nowadays.

Part 3: Athens Polytechnic (1995), performance by the contemporary Greek artist Georgia Sagri. Protest against the character that the 17 November Anniversary has taken, an anniversary established to celebrate the arise of the Athens Polytechnic movement and the consequent fall of the junta.
