FRAGMENTS OF SAPPHO


2023 | 8mins 16s

A live V-J session using personal archive footage mixing Greek and Sussex countrysides, moonrises, fire play, dancing and city dreaming with rolling mellow improvisation by Cretan lute player Giorgos Xylouris.

The edit responds to fragments of Sappho’s poetry:

Loves New

Eros shook my mind like a mountain wind falling on oak trees

You burn me

deep sound

we live the opposite darling

Daring

As long as you want
