Author Ypatia Kornarou What is reflected in your photographic work “Flow of Life”? The photographic project “Flow of Life”  captures the search for balance between the “self” and the “we.” Relationships resemble a continuous dance in which emotional connection and distance constantly alternate. At times, the union becomes deep, generating a sense of security and fulfillment. At other moments, distance grows, bringing with it uncertainty and insecurity. Yet even distance, as p

The Metaxourgeio Carnival is one of the most unique and authentic carnival celebrations in Athens. Each year, this historic neighborhood transforms into a vibrant open-air festival where residents, artists, and visitors gather in the streets to celebrate with music, color, and imaginative costumes. @Savvatios Bampilis The celebration usually begins at Avdi Square, where people gather before the carnival parade moves through the narrow streets of Metaxourgeio and Kerameikos. T

Author: Ypatia Kornarou What is the photographic project titled “Incision” about? The project “Incisions”   was conceived several years ago, but it eventually took shape within the framework of the classes at Moments Collective, which I had the pleasure of attending under the guidance of the beloved Hypatia Kornarou. The starting point of the project is surgical incisions; however, its deeper meaning concerns human existence as revealed through personal struggle, lived experi

Author Ypatia Kornarou What was the inspiration behind your photographic project? The source of inspiration was my close friend almost like a brother when, in August 2024, he lost his father. This awakened my own memories, as 23 years ago I had also experienced the loss of my own father. Through our personal yet honest conversations, I was inspired by the way these stories could be approached, as well as by the visualization of the emotions behind them. Initially, five experi

Author Ypatia Kornarou From where is the photographic work “Connection–Disconnection” inspired? The photographic project “Connection–Disconnection” is inspired by the two words “Beautiful Wrecks” and how they became an invisible reflection of thoughts and emotions, where both our personal inner landscapes of blooming and desolation, as well as the universal human need for connection with the other, become the reason for our individual stories of connection and disconnection —

Intrview with Ypatia Kornarou What does your first photographic work “Kikkavi” negotiate? From the past to the present, society demands that femininities remain silent. Those who do not remain silent face the consequences.They are mocked, labeled as hysterical, insane. Those who refuse to be silent are disparaged, attacked, marginalized, murdered. Yet those who choose silence are condemned to carry the weight of chronic oppression without complaint.Systemic oppression, deeply

Interview with Ypatia Kornarou What does the photographic work “Breathe” mean to you? Our now “unstoppable” everyday life rarely allows us to pause and observe the world around us.The photo series “Breathe”  was created to express the human need to escape the noisy routine of daily life, to reconnect with the environment, and to reflect. Only when we are connected with our surroundings and with ourselves do we experience inner peace. One of the most difficult things w e are c

Interview with Ypatia Kornarou What does your photographic work “The Weight of the Void” explore? The Weight of the Void  explores absence as a form of presence.Images of containers once inhabited by people, abandoned houses, and empty beds stand frozen in time, carrying the invisible weight of forgotten stories.The lack of oxygen becomes a metaphor for survival under suffocating conditions, suspended between preservation and decay.In each image, the void is not merely an ab

Interview with Ypatia Kornarou What does the photographic work “Tourism That Hurts Nature” address? Every summer, thousands of tourists flood the most beautiful corners of our country. From the islands of the Aegean to the mountains of Epirus, tourism breathes life into local communities and supports the economy. Yet behind this image of growth lies another, less bright reality: tourist destinations are suffocating under the weight of human indifference. Where there was once

Interview with ''Ypatia Kornarou'' Describe how you experienced the photographic process during the creation of the conceptual work “Mapping the Within.” The creation of the work “Mapping the Within”  was a journey of self-discovery. I began with an initial idea, but soon realized that the work itself was leading me toward a more personal, inner path. My obsessions and anxieties became its core. The collaboration with the two actresses was not merely a matter of direction. St
