“A Closer Look II” at FokiaNou Art Space: Five Artists Explore Different Facets of Human Experience

FokiaNou Art Space presents the group exhibition “A Closer Look II”, featuring works by five artists who explore different facets of human experience.

The exhibition focuses on detail and deeper observation, from the body and the city to nature and memory.

Bettina Buschbeck – The Poetry of the Earth Is Never Dead

Buschbeck explores the delicate dialogue between human beings and nature: the perpetual rhythm of blossoming and collapse, the traces of transformation, light and darkness. She reflects on how nature mirrors the human condition and whether the earth can hold memory, in that place where time ends and memory persists.

Dimitra Gounari – Invisible Ecologies

Gounari investigates the invisible ecologies of the natural world through digitally transformed landscape photographs. Roots, rocks, foliage and water flows reveal underground networks and interdependencies that usually remain hidden.

The negative color palette destabilizes visual habit, proposing the landscape as a living, multilayered system.

Kyveli Zachariou – In the Burnt Forest

One year after the major wildfires, Zachariou returns to the burned landscapes of Penteli, Parnitha and Rhodes. Her photographic gaze captures the fragile balance between loss and regeneration in a landscape slowly transforming within a world shaped by climate change.

Vasilis Kantas – Functional Dyspepsia

Kantas approaches functional dyspepsia as a psychosomatic phenomenon and wanders through Athens following the traces of bodily discomfort. The body becomes a tool for reading the urban landscape, revealing stories that persist beneath the surface.

Tzortzia Touliatou – One-Eleven. Palermo

Touliatou’s photographic wandering through Palermo maps a city through the desires of her friends. From the intensity of the markets to the silence of the churches, her images combine sweetness, mortality and sunlight, revealing the multiplicity of urban experience.
