X:SITU / DOMUS

Thirty-four unique works of art and design were displayed few days ago at a private art&design exhibition entitled domus as part of x:situ.

X:Situ, a series of art and design exhibitions organized by Aris Papadopoulos and Christina Papas (photo above) is hosting an unforeseen range of artists from various disciplines in unique and unpredicted environments, aiming to intrugue its participants and audience into observing how a redefined display context has the ability to reassess the content of art and design.

The domus participants were the Athens and Rotterdam based creative agency Atelier Z, Blaqk, Christelle Makris (photo 1 below with another participant- Versaweiss),Giannis Mamoutzis, Sonke and Vasilis Botoulas.

CHRISTINA ECONOMOU IN L'OFFICIEL

MODELS BACKSTAGE AT DIMITRIS PETROU/ PHOTOS BY CHRISTOS TZIMAS

Photographer Christos Tzimas (effex.gr) was backstage during the rehearsal and the preparation of the Dogma fashion show by Dimitris Petrou. I previously posted my own photos and review but when I received such amazing pictures on my e-mail, I couldn't resist but presenting them here. If you look at them carefully, you may share the same thought I made when I first saw them: the models are often posing but the images look like are as if the photographer wasn't there and as if there was complete silence. A unique photographic coverage exclusively at the eternal optimist.
