Based on the research-creation project ‘Practicing Anti-happiness with Luce Irigaray’, developed with Eftihia Mihelakis.
Anti-happiness is not the opposite of happiness, but a counter-practice: a way of being with discomfort rather than resisting it. Fire arises as desire and connection, but also as shared concern, a form of ecological melancholy, asking: how do we visualize internal and psychic temporalities of discomfort? Embracing an ecology of imaging, this film re-members the artists’ archive of performances, videos, and footage (2021–2025), linking it to a collective reading of Luce Irigaray’s essay, “Sharing the Fire: Outline of a Dialectics of Sensitivity” (2019). Through this interweaving, text and image are recontextualized destabilizing finality.
Screened at the 15th Meeting of the Luce Irigaray Circle, online conference, 4-6 July, 2025.

Why did you punish yourself again,Oedipus?, 2021, film, colour, sound, 03:53 min.
A digitalised performance that revisits the Sophoclean myth of Oedipus Rex by staging two acts: an act of mask-making, and an act of moving in a state of oblivion. An attempt to symbolically disrupt the hegemony of oedipal structures and sensorially experience the discomfort they produce towards the transition to more open and queer models of action.
