DESCRIPTION
/eh-theh-lo-tee-FLON-das; εθελοτυφλώντας/ — present participle of the verb “εθελοτυφλώ”; meaning “willfully blinding oneself,” i.e., deliberately ignoring or refusing to acknowledge an evident reality.
Ethelotyflontas features a repeating image of dead wild goats extracted from the burned landscapes of Rhodes, Greece. Pixelated and distorted, it reflects how digital consumption numbs reality—fire, destruction, and loss reduced to fleeting images on a screen. Printed on a 300-feet roll with the words Hellenic Meats, the work becomes an allegory for Greece as a slaughterhouse, commodifying land, labor, memory, and identity within cycles of extraction and sale.
