Launch: Andreas Angelidakis’s The Sissy Project

On Tuesday December 19, we are very happy to welcome artist, architect, and all-around queer Greek icon Andreas Angelidakis to Hyper Hypo for the launch of his Sissy Project.
The Sissy Project is a survey of his work dressed up as short stories on Athenian ephemera like the legendary 80s gay club Graffiti on Xouthou street, or an architectural order inspired by the Summer of Capital Controls (2015).
Sissy is an archaeological site of words and numbers which even the most devoted scholar could never unpack: Sissy was released on 12/12, in reference to the 12th day of the 12th month of the 12th year of the millennium when Angelidakis’s mother committed suicide.
Sissy will eventually be comprised of 12 issues (released once a week in the new year after the first three are all made available next week) and plays along with the superstitions that 12/12 is a portal, 12 is the number of cosmic order, 12 apostles, 12 hours, 12 months and the zine costs €12.
Sissy launches exclusively at Hyper Hypo where each week will bring 40 copies of the newest issue. 40 because of the iconic quote by Alexander Iolas’s crossdressing after she was fired “I’ll burn him with 40 tapes”…meaning that she had been recording him all along.
