In the realm where art intersects with environmental consciousness, a dynamic force is at play. Picture this: an electrifying collaboration that melds the creativity of three artists with the forward-thinking ethos of three pioneering companies, all aimed at igniting conversations and catalyzing action. Despina Charitonidi, Antonis Theodoridis, and Kostis Velonis—each offering an individual showcase—unite under the banner of a summer exhibition poised to redefine the boundaries of art and environmental awareness. At the core of this initiative lies the exclusive utilization of materials that effectively capture the environmental zeitgeist of our time. Each artist is strategically paired with a specific company, fostering a symbiotic relationship where creativity and sustainability intertwine.
Mystery 8 European Eyes on Japan: Selected Greek Photographer Antonis Theodoridis
Osaka, Japan / Elefsina, Greece.
The 2023 Eleusis European Capital of Culture, in collaboration with the Non-Profit Organization EU Japan Fest, is pleased to announce that the Greek photographer, who will travel to Japan, is Antonis Theodoridis. The selection was made by the artistic director of EU Japan Fest, Mikiko Kikuta. The Greek photographer will travel to Osaka for a 3-week residency and he will participate in Mystery 8 Eyes on Japan, capturing the convergences and divergences of the two cultures. Mystery 8 Eyes on Japan is part of the international program European Eyes on Japan, where European Capitals of Culture introduce a different region of Japan each year through this residency. The photographs will be presented in a publication entitled European Eyes on Japan/Japan Today. In addition, there will be an exhibition open to the public in Elefsina and after the works will be donated to the city as part of its contemporary cultural heritage.
