The three artists, Georgios Makkas, Marilena Stafylidou and Kostis Velonis, came face to face with rheumatoid arthritis. Each interpreted it from their own perspective and approach to photography. Makkas’s coloured dynamic portraits, where the difference between the diseased and the healthy emerges solely through the text accompanying each picture. The plasticity in the style adopted by Stafylidou, who focuses on faces, extremities and their movements. The abstract concepts in the collages of Velonis, who uses the medium not to describe what he observes, in its usual sense, but as the last layer of a composition, where the hard core, the true essence and existence of things are made evident. These are the elements that make up this exhibition.
