The projection Flashes of European Photography: Transeurope Project aims at offering a glimpse at a project which started two years ago and will reach its final destination with the exhibition Any More Odes? to be held in Athens in November (opening night on 11/11/2019 at the Athens Municipality Arts Center).
The projected works were show-cased at the Finnish Museum of Photography in Helsinki this summer, in the exhibition entitled Belonging to the Story curated by Clément Beraud, Reetta Haarajoki and Tiina Rauhala. In addition to that, the works of the Greek participation, the series Minus 2 (-2) by Stratos Maragos, will be presented.
Quoting the curators, the exhibition “hovers between reality and fiction and uses the techniques of contemporary photographic art to examine the way in which we cling to one another and the world, dream, create utopias, and imagine the future. [..]At the same time, it aims to give the viewers the space to delve into their own imagination and thus continue the story”.
