The exhibition presents the work of an acknowledged photoreporter, a Greek of the Diaspora, Dimitris Soulas. These 90 works from the period when he worked as a photo-reporter in Munich from 1967-1974 reveal his object of interest: the road in the sense of a public space, people as well as the instantaneous relationships developed between them. His photographs are snapshots, people’s fleeting moments, that can be immortalised by photography.
