The World Of Art, 2022

Athens School of Fine Arts, 2022
Nikos Kessanlis Venue

 

A large video projection of photographs from museums, galleries, artists’ and collectors’ homes, and opening dinners tells of another world called “the world of art,” whose obsolescence the artist criticizes with derision yet tenderness. This video projection, like most of the photographer’s videos, is a fluid slideshow of 180 photographs presented in chapters. It showcases meetings around artworks and spaces dedicated to art, as well as what art generates in terms of travel, sometimes fertile, sometimes perverted encounters, receptions, buffets, white tablecloths, disguises, and servants—all the extravagant human and material means that make art and its beauties circulate around the world.
