The artist Dimitris Kozaris illustrates three of his projects (Fast Food, Star Tricks e Body & Soul) in view of the quick changings of the mediascape, which include the expansion of television, the development of advertising, the widespread diffusion of computers and internet and the rise of digital television. Through a study of production means and fruition channels of the video and a manipulation of existing video materials, Kozaris’ works work on the deconstruction of the codes of the image and on editing, which generates new critical and ironic narratives.
