‘The Semi-Fictional Character of the Day’ is a joint, one-month project by Louiza Mallouri and Constantinos Xenofontos. Constantinos will be sketching a semi-fictional figure every day, and Louiza will be writing an accompanying storyline, as inspired by that character. The aim of this project is to explore the way two semiotic systems, the visual and the linguistic, interact and complement each other to tell a story.
Fancy dress party at your place. You exude all kinds of cool, you’re the life of the party, just like in school, where everyone wanted a piece of you. I was one of them. So you gave us parts of you, but never everything. You slipped away, just before anyone got attached. But some of us did. And there we are again. I am not much for dress up, but for you I try. You smile like a child, a real life Peter Pan, making us all wish we hadn’t left the kid we were behind.
