NOEMA is philosopher Husserl's term for "the meaning of an object that is formed in the domain of consciousness." Pornographic videos are mined for the unerotic moments between moments, when the actors are engaging in an awkward change of position or when the camera pans meaningfully away from the urgent mechanisms of sex up to a cheap painting on the wall or the distant embers of a crackling fire. A piercing musical score loops endlessly throughout, and the repetitive and curious iterations of movement become furtive searches for meaning within their own blandness.

“The structure of human vision is the visual knowledge of the world. Individuals do not visually understand the world through the eyes, but through the brain.

The title of the film, is a symbol of "something easily understood by children but completely forgotten by adults" in Saint-Exupéry's famous novel, The Prince of the Stars.

The hot summer of '98. The "TITANIC" was on top... SEMITIS was at the bottom... But then the two abstract concepts turned upside down and tied themselves together like a knot. This is how the Karavi project came about. "Simititanic." The only "project" of public interest that was constructed in Greece without... a starter motor. It was made exclusively from transparent, traditional, pure inspection materials... such as satire, laughter, humor, and music. It is a project that calls a spade a spade. It vertically restructures the structures of inspection and horizontally probes the schizophrenia of the modern Greek, deeply marking the "Is" and "Appears" of our socio-political "Becoming."

As recreated in Apetitos de Familia, the blood, the slaughtering, the extirpation of innards, the making of sausages, the scenes of a familiar congregation with their physical expressions of affection, all of those are proven to be part of the western iconography of the still life.

A video which came out of a failed 16mm film project. Originally photographed in San Francisco, shooting only in locations where the cables transporting the cable cars could be heard, the ambiance of the cables would be the soundtrack. When the film failed; it was transferred to video, and then rephotographed with a video camera, the transfer playing in various levels slow motion and a contact mic on the screen to bring attention to the rhythms and allow the films colours to create timbre. Inspiration for the project was found in Eugène Atget and Charles Marville's photographic work, capturing a subtle otherworldly quality from the decay of a soon to be destroyed old Paris (pre Haussmann plan).
