About
Created over two weeks on the streets of Athens, Dear Kairos is a letter to the Ancient Greek considerations of time. The viewer is invited to consider theKronos, the linear, mechanistic and determined passing of clock and calendar time, and theKairos, serendipitous, opportunistic and boundless time. Through the use of repeated scenes and careful sequencing, Dear Kairos asks the viewer to consider moments loaded with significance that can be pushed through and embraced in order to distinguish, as Frank Kermode writes, between mere chronicity and times which are concordant and full, avoiding that which is fixed and easy to categorize, instead looking to embracea boundless lack of beginning or ending.
