The Sea Beyond (its Aesthetics) workshop with Stratos Kalafatis & Lia Nalbantidou, held at the premises of MOMus – Experimental Center for the Arts – APOTHIKI B1, Port of Thessaloniki was succesfully completed.
For five days a team of 21 photographers worked around the Thermaikos Golf in Thessaloniki, reapproaching the view of the sea, focusing their views beyond the aesthetic side of photography.
Travelled around the area, discussed social and local issues, also photography’s posibilities, learned more on the local and aristic field, experessed their view on the field.
The methodology of the workshop focused in two areas: the specific and special geography and social reality of the Thermaikos Gulf.
The team managed to highlight different perspectives of the same place in photography and furthermore on text/logos, creating a pluralistic and multi-dimensional aspect of a sea that functions in the modern city mostly as a walll and not as part of the quotidian.
With 6-10 photographs by each artist, along with texts and updated methodological and structural approaches, the MOMus-Experimental Center for the Arts is more than content with the progress of this team workshop and experience.
Many thanks to all the contributors and participants for the collaboration!
