Dressed up as a local thug, Stafylakis incites the right-wing parastate legacies of the city of Thessaloniki, Northern Greece. A group of vigilantes, named  as The Autonomist Movement of the Community of Kalamaria, AKKK, (A.M.C.K) occupied the space of the Kodra ex-military camp (Thessaloniki). The space is transformed into a propaganda kiosk hosting AKKK’s campaign for the upcoming municipal elections. The  Manifesto on the wall praises “local government, the preservation of traditional values against the onslaught of globalization and rationalization-centralization of municipal administration.” The kiosk is an overt mimicry of the nationalist ideological consensus traversing the past and the present of the city.  

Since the 70s and on through the 90s, Thessaloniki has been the homeland of the cultural trend of New-Orthodoxy, a communitarianist adaptation of the Orthodox Christianity, as well as a theory of continuity between the Byzantine past and contemporary Greece. Mimicking this intellectual trend, AKKK preaches the role of agrarian communities and parishes as alternative social entities. Although Thessaloniki has staged diverge cultural flows and social movements, it has always been the home of a conservative intelligentsia and infamous para-state organizations -responsible for the assassination of political opponents.

A video-installation refers to the re-appearance of para-state mechanisms in the 90s. The video reenacts the Junta-fest (Juntoglenti), an incident that shocked the Greek public opinion in the 90s: a private fest organized by members of the local special forces of the Thessaloniki police. This party took place in the woods of Thessaloniki and featured songs praising the Greek military dictatorship (1967-1974), while officers hazed a group of arrested immigrants in the form of traditional rituals (orthodox style baptisms, etc.) The scandal broke out when a videotape revealed footage from these activities. A part of the political world tried unsuccessfully to cover up the events denouncing them as fake. The AKKK reenacts the incidents in that footage.
