Stelios Kallinikou
Stelios Kallinikou presents us with sequences of imagery, flowing into interlaced dialogues, whilst crossing different themes such us, politics, colonialism, the environment, technology, spirituality, and the power of images. Through photography, video and sound, worlds are constructed at an introspective pace, and then act as speculative scenarios through which the intersections between territorial and ideological notions relating to land and the body are explored.
