LUCILE LITTOT Presents Pinkionis (Fetish)

Walking into this Athens apartment feels like stepping onto the set of a feverish and sexy genre film “something between a Dario Argento hallucination and a Mario Bava baroque reverie,” as Lucille says. Abandoned for over a decade, the flat was found frozen in the late ’90s, with ballet slippers, posters of fallen icons, and adolescent scribbles whispering stories from another time. Curator Lucille has transformed this ghostly space into her own home and then, through a celebrative mise-en-abime, into Pinkionis: an immersive exhibition and living installation that draws from her love of cinema, feminist iconography, and speculative mythologies. Works by Leonor Fini, Sylvie Fleury, Malvina Panagiotidi, Agata Ingarden, and Theo Triantafyllidis inhabit the apartment like specters decadent, uncanny, fitting, and provocatively alive. At the heart of the exhibition is a deeply personal yet politically charged vision: the female body as both sacred object and site of rebellion. Each piece enters into dialogue with Lucille’s own Moulin Rouge  Zombie Girls paintings  imagined storyboards for a future horror film of vengeance and resurrection. Here, among crumbling Athenian facades and techno cancan remixes, the ghosts of teenage girls rise as vengeful deities, reclaiming space in a world that once tried to silence them. I feel compelled.
