A collection of photographs as an assessment of emotions through a conscious bold antithesis in both the capturing and printing as in the content of the images.
It is important to look at Dimitris’ photographs that extra minute so one can follow the process of inspiration, maybe see different interpretations and meanings created at first sight.
There is chaos and also beauty in these images.
The meaning of the images is not easily found in what they depict but they create a sense of familiarity or an agreement of co existence between the photographer and the bold buildings, wildflowers that courageously bloomed in the concrete, the distant grey ports, yesterday’sor today’s districts, of the South or the North.
As viewers, we can follow the photographer wandering through his landscapes and his moments. Landscapes that look like they belong inSolaris, that make us wonder too. The photographer’s directness arranges the overall structure of the inner or outer landscape and everyanswer or interpretation is possible.
The portraits are direct and the stare at the image stares right back at us. The photographer has smoothed the capturing process and he isallowing us to be there, inside these landscapes.
The sharp contrast of black and white and the content of the images predisposes us for the possibility of something brighter. After looking at the gazes, the naked bodies, the faces across us, so close that one breath or closing a door can be almost heard, we can understand the photographer’s view.
All the photographs breed thoughts, questions, but in their own way, they settle meanings and answers directly related to the past, the present and what tomorrow will bring, what the future holds. The photographer consciously places the questions and asks for the answers through his images, but we never find out the answer.
Dimitris’ photographs transport us to places we have visited and emotions which we may have all experienced.
