FOKIANOU ART SPACE, ATHENS, GREECE, 5-6 JUNE 2021, 12:00-16:00

​​

“Comfortably Wild” is a photography slideshow - an ongoing project, about an existing, real world that is unknown to many of us. It is about the  (r)evolution of the Athenian queer scene and society from 2016 until today, a “miracle” between raw reality and fantasy.

 

This project is about people who live on the limits of reality, protagonists whose unusual beauty was captured alive and shining.

Part of this selection was exhibited in the exhibition Head On Photo Festival 2020, in Sydney.

 

During the exhibition, the artist will reveal his artistic process by allowing the audience to witness two photographic sessions, giving them the opportunity to watch him and his subjects in creative action.

​
