*ON MY FAULT I ASK
FOR ACQUITTAL

Apology, 2010
The starting point for the work "Apology" has been a folder containing documents on the involvement of several people in municipal and prefectural authorities in Greece during the dictatorship period of the years from 1968 to 1974.
In 1975, right after the overthrow of the regime they were summoned by their work union to account for their deeds while in those positions.
The aforementioned folder contains letters and telegrams by the summoned ones, in which they explain why they could not attend the committee and analyze the reasons which obligated them to accept the allocated posts.
The phrase which caught my attention was the ending of a telegram: "On my fault I ask for acquittal"
"Apology" is a bureaucratic work for a bureaucratic apology.
