POETRIX

POETRIX

2026 • 7 min • Greece
“POETRIX” (2026) is a short art experimental animation that was inspired by my dystopian novel “The smudge” (Taxideftis, 2021). It is about the interaction of conscious and subconscious, how the subconscious is formed in the course of life and can affect our actions and consequently the world. It all begins with a nightmare that triggers a repressed trauma to resurface and brings the main character “The Creature” face to face with itself as well. The character, wishing to be free from fear, does a brave deep dive into the subconscious and goes on an inner journey, like falling into a different Hades, to face the nightmare head on. On the way, it finds what has been repressed, what could have caused its heartbreaks and oppression, socially and personally, such as traumas, stereotypes, anything external that could have disoriented it from its path while obstructing it from listening to its inner voice. During this journey, various questions arise, such as what is really trapping it from reconnecting with itself: Being trapped in its own mind? Being trapped in a system that alienates, consumes the individual in its mechanism and is made for human machines? An awakening process begins and the character experiences emotions, such as pain and anger. The mind then pushes the body into motion in search of a solution. It wonders if the disasters in the world and in nature are caused because the world within has been reversed, reflecting this anomaly, which results in destruction and self-destruction. At some point, it encounters the “Magical Creature” that resides within, its inner voice, which symbolically makes a purgative and atoning sacrifice, so that the main character can change perspective and find a way out of its mental cage, aiming for Regeneration and for a new beginning. Technically, I combine images with written words and music, so that they represent the course and the “magical” transformations in a subconscious, dreamy and irrational world, as a poetic metaphor. The editing was realized in two phases. The first, working with the photographer Katerina Cheiladaki on an Apple pc. The second, editing all the material, including the music, using an editing program on my mobile phone. Genre, technical characteristics: mp4, Experimental Short – Video Art, silent
