Maria Chatzidimou Maria Chatzidimou was born in Giannitsa in 1988. Since 2006, she has been living in Thessaloniki, where she received her bachelor degree on English Language and Literature by Aristotle University of Thessaloniki in 2011. She is still creating memories of Thessaloniki due to her master courses on English Literature and Culture that keep her in town. Her main interests circulate around films, gastrotourism, destruction and construction projects, photography, social unrest and cooking. Oh yes! And sometimes she likes to study about feminist porn, abjects, dystopias and Ideological State Apparatuses. |

| A Sound Poem - A City at War #city #whispers #screams #silence #repetition #deafness #muteness #everyday #music #nostalgy #ways #transport #voices #what_is_lost
The clip is mainly created by sounds recorded/gathered in the area of Thessaloniki between the 17th of November 2012 and the 9th of January 2013. The sound narration is also enhanced by the familiar voices of Thanassis Veggos from one of his popular films and Ellie Lambeti reading Constantine Cavafy's poem "Η πόλις"/"The City". The clip closes with Simon, a student from Cuba, whom the project team met at the Migrants' Center of Thessaloniki. The sounds were edited with the use of various software.
Press commentary: "The Soundtrack of our Lives. Literally." The Times. Special thanks to: Skiagraphima for his professional help and No_such_Thing for his courtesy material.
