Ancient Myth in modern frames.
This long-term artistic project explores Greek mythology through a contemporary lens — across photography, painting and aphoristic text. The works span three exhibitions and six handcrafted booklets created between 2011 and 2021.
The first cycle, exhibited in 2015, examined the mythic dimensions of Humans, Monsters, Titans and Gods in four separate volumes. The second cycle focused on the figure of the Hero, beginning with Heracles (2017), followed by Odysseus (2021).
Each booklet consists of loose photo cards — front side: image; reverse side: aphorism, mythological reflection and drawing. The combination invites viewers to read and re-read the ancient material through the fragmented gaze of a digital age.
The project’s central question: Where do we encounter myth today?
Many classical texts remain startlingly relevant — touching on themes like social exclusion, mental health, environmental consciousness and the fragility of human connection. When we look closely, mythology becomes less distant — and more like a mirror.
Odysseus | 2021
Odysseus becomes a symbol of drift and delay. The journey unfolds in fragments — tactile, visual, reflective. Not a tale of return, but of disorientation in a world of endless signals.
Herakles | 2017
The Twelve Labors are reinterpreted as internal struggles — psychological and social. Image, text and drawing distill the myth into solitary fragments. Herakles appears not as hero, but as figure of endurance.
γνώση [gnòsi] | 2015
Humans | Monsters | Titans |Gods
The first cycle of the project explores mythological archetypes across four independent volumes. Each set combines visual and textual elements to reframe ancient figures in a fragmented, contemporary form.
