Yiorgos Kordakis presents his project “10.000 American Movies” at the Karsten Greve Gallery in Paris, from September 5 – 26, 2015.
Started in 2009, the 10.000 American Movies series aims at materializing the artist’s memories accumulated during his childhood and youth, carried along by the discovery of American film classics, popularized by famous actors like Clint Eastwood or Steve McQueen.
The American landscape is recognizable all over the Western world: As the enigmatic backdrop of thousands of Hollywood movies, it has travelled the globe, reaching the hearts of millions. It has helped tell all kinds of stories, forever canonizing the American dream and aesthetic. It was a great surprise for me to find many of these vistas still vibrant and untouched, alongside the tired clichés. [Yiorgos Kordakis]
