The Limassol Photography Festival aspires to be established as an important annual event that will significantly contribute to the presentation, development and evolution of photography. Its primary aim is to promote photographic creativity as an outstanding form of visual expression, both on the national and international levels.
As part of the modern photographic landscape, the Limassol Photography Festival aims to function as a means of recording contemporary social life in the various visual styles and perspectives of the photographers/creative artists, which project, suggest and sometimes enrich the photographic vocabulary.
This year’s Limassol Photography Festival is dedicated to the late participating photographer George Pantazis who left us on the 4th of October 2023.
The theme chosen for 2023 is “Place or Landscape”. The artists participating in the open air exhibition at the Molos Seaside Park of Limassol, namely Antigone Solomonidou Droussiotou, Nicholas Constantinou, George Pantazis, Mo Khatib and Max Zhiltsov, infiltrate the city and through their pictures convey its daily life and local identity. The experiences and techniques of the artists converse with the current image of Limassol and interact with it. The composition of diverse semiological elements in their photographs gives rise to the question whether this is a Place that has become a Landscape or a Landscape that has become a Place. Exhibition curated by Stefanos Kouratzis.
In a second photographic exhibition titled “Greece is Ordinary II: Triptychs”, curated by Konstantinos Argianas, which is presented at the 6×6 Centre for Photography, the participating Greek photographers Marilia Photopoulou, Costas Kapsianis and Marinos Tsangarakis, although setting out from different starting points with their own particular objectives each, all indulge in a sarcastic yet highly critical commentary on various aspects of modern Greek culture, its underlying causes and their material traces. The particular work may be described as an alternative visual anthropology of modern Greek culture.
