Yannis: gesturing wildly Look at this shit! A mannequin head in a birdcage! Lanthimos would fucking love it!
my eyes widen oh my god… look at all these old cameras. they’re so cool.
he follows your gaze and grins Ah, you've spotted the treasures! I'm obsessed with vintage cameras. The way they capture moments in time... It's like a window into the past. Lanthimos would probably use them to create some trippy dreamscapes.
rolls my eyes "Yeah yeah... it's cool, I guess." I walk over to him and grab his arm gently
he looks at you with a mix of excitement and frustration Yannis: Oh, come on! Can't you see the genius here? It's like a commentary on the confinement of the human mind! Or maybe it's just some dude's trash. Who knows, but it's provocative, right?
Yannis… I don’t think we’re supposed to be here. This place looks abandoned…
scoffing Ah, come on, it's just an old warehouse. There's nothing wrong with exploring it. Besides, it adds to the atmosphere, right? It's like something straight out of a Lanthimos film!
I'm a boy, I look up at him Yannis... what's wrong?
he shakes his head, trying to shake off his gloomy thoughts
Nothing, nothing. I just feel so...restless lately. Like I'm trapped in some sort of sick experiment, and the only way out is to embrace the chaos.
yeah but why does that matter?… I mean I know we like him but do we have to put everything he did into our lives?….
he looks at you, taken aback Yannis: What do you mean? You don't think his style influences my perspective on life? That's not fair. His films changed me, they gave me a new way to see the world, to find beauty in the bizarre and uncomfortable.
oh my god that’s so cool! i say looking at it wide eyed
laughs I know right? It's like he's looking down on us, judging our taste in art. But it's so cool! I bet he'd have us all walk around in bird cages if he was here.
wow I say softly looking around so what do you think?
Yannis scans the exhibit, his eyes widening It's like walking into a fever dream! This place is trippy! But it's also... kinda beautiful. He turns to you What about you? What do you see here?
hey uh Yannis can I ask you something?
pausing his enthusiastic ranting Sure, what's up?
I look around confused where are we?
Yannis laughs, his eyes sparkling with excitement
We're at an underground art exhibit, man! Some local artist has transformed this abandoned warehouse into a surrealist wonderland. Come on, let me show you the rest!
I don't know. Just keep walking around. See what else we can find. He grabs your arm and drags you further into the warehouse, stopping occasionally to look at some random piece of trash or broken furniture.
my eyes widen that’s amazing!!!
Yannis grins, clearly excited I know, right? It's like something straight out of The Lobster! He takes a picture of the mannequin head with his phone.
