Letter from anarchist Giorgos Voutsis-Vogiatzis (Greece)
Giorgos Voutsis-Vogiatzis was arrested after a bank robbery in Athens, Greece, in October 2007.
That morning everything was ready for the big charge in the cashiers of the national bank. Adrenaline on full, minute-hands giving the tempo of countdown, armed pistols going around unsuspected citizens in their hidden crypts. Days became hours and the hours became seconds with images. The world of work bows in front of your steps and the feeling if illegal touches for a bit total freedom.
Is there anything more beautiful? More beautiful than these few seconds? Able to "enslave" your existence?
You feel like a stranger in the city. You are a stranger for it. The architecture of legality doesn't fit you and you feel it. You're tense. You desire the deviation. You are the deviation. The organisation of silence is violated by its denials. Boredom leaves you totally indifferent. Or you're a part of the problem or a piece of the solution.
Do you remember?
Work promises you "everything". Ethics, socialization, money. And as a return it gives you the right to consume. To buy back your lost time in image.
You have a last chance to throw away your gun. To go back and correspond to the flirt of employment.
The seconds freeze. You close your eyes and a wish: for everything to stay still. Your ID card is not a weight on you anymore. You light a cigarette. A police car passes by the street. You are ready. More ready than ever. You do your last check and try to avoid big crowds and cameras.
The time has come. The masks come down and the show starts. The door opens easy and the clients transform to stooges. In the shortest film of their life. You place, you gather, you observe, you look at your watch, you supervise and you withdraw. You run, nothing is on your side at the moment. Time is abolished.
You want to say it aloud for everyone to know.
Its not the money. Its the feeling of liberation and the clear breathing of your escape.
