I am forever chasing light. Light turns the ordinary into the magical.
Trent Parke
Light, the cornerstone of photography. It is the animator, the one which reveals the world around us, which illuminates the unknown, and reveals virtues, hope, truth and happiness. It was used as a symbol of “good” religiously and socio-politically, which is in a perpetual battle against evil, darkness and shadows. It is identified with the divine, but also with knowledge. Already last year’s theme (Un)lucky (R)evolution, raised the question of where we stand as humanity now. This year we look forward. We look to the future optimistically, seeking light in every aspect of our lives. We are looking for all that is worth fighting for, but also all the darkness that is waiting to be illuminated. We are looking for the light that will give us new knowledge but also the optimism we need in a world that continues to plunge into darkness. As Magnum’s Australian photographer Trent Parke puts it: “Light turns the ordinary into the magical.” So this year, let’s try to spread the magic!

The exhibition of the competition section of Photometria entitled “Stalk me”, travels to Naoussa and specifically to the exhibition space “Kamini”. The exhibition will be open to the public on Saturday, November 13 at 20:00 and will last until November 20.
People that never sleep. Open screens and we spectators and spectacles at the same time. People staring up at us, a curiosity about the lives of others. We, first of all, photographing the unexpected and the random, before it gets lost in endless time. Because it’s our insatiable curiosity that pushed us there. A photo shoot on the street, a persistent look at the hidden or at something that we hadn’t even noticed until now, an obsessive glance. From Sophie Calle’s camera at the “Suite Venitienne” to the modern London’s street surveillance cameras. We live in a time where technology enables a continuous and two-way Panopticon. An endless surveillance of which we do not always know on which side we are. An instinctive need to see and be seen. Stalk us!
The venues where the photo exhibition will be hosted will observe the sanitary protocols and the visitors will enter, as defined by the new measures of the co-competent ministries, in order to avoid the spread of Covid 19.
Duration: 13- 20.11.2021
Hours: 11:00-14:00 & 17:00-21:00
Exhibition space: “Kamini”, Naousa
Opening: 13.11.2021 at 20:00
