As Steffen Michels, from METAL magazine, says “from the witty use of the
human body (all of it!) as an instrument of exploration to the discreet digital
manipulation of landscapes – there is quite a lot going on in KOSTIS FOKAS’
work.”
“The Greek photographer who grew up in what he calls a ‘very religious
environment’ seeks to convey his innermost fantasies through his art. In doing
so, Fokas unloads a truckload of references – sexuality, Dada and popular
culture among them. Perhaps most strikingly though is a postmodern sense of
human incapacity. How else could we explain the helplessness of a man buried
under a basket or a woman hauling her legs up in the air as if spatially
disoriented? In some images, it seems, body and mind have difficulties walking
parallel lines.”
