Water – Currents

NERO REYMATA

13 December 2008 – 25 March 2009 / Thessaloniki Museum of Photography

Exhibition curated by: Gabriel Bauret, Vangelis Ioakimidis
Co-organization: Thessaloniki Museum of Photography / Prix Pictet / Candlestar
Production: TMP / Pictet

This exhibition includes different currents of photography as they are expressed through the works of Prix Pictet, as well as projects by artists from Greece and abroad. One part of the exhibition includes photographs from the short listed artists of the Pictet award and presents the issue of sustainability, the social and environmental dimension which permeates the element of water. The other part includes works by Greek and foreign artists which transmit images of fiction, contemplation and frivolity. In Currents, documentary photography and photography of the unreal come into a dialogue echoing the variations which can result from photographic creation.
