FokiaNou Art Space presents the group exhibition “A Closer Look II” with works by five artists who explore different aspects of the human experience. The exhibition focuses on detail and deeper observation, from the body and the city to nature and memory.

Bettina Buschbeck – The poetry of the earth is never dead

Buschbeck explores the delicate conversation between man and nature: the eternal rhythm of blossoming and decay, the traces of transformation, light and darkness. She wonders how nature reflects man and whether the earth can hold a memory, where time ends and memory persists.

Dimitra Gounari – Invisible Ecologies

Gounari explores the invisible ecologies of the natural world through digitally transformed landscape photographs. Roots, rocks, foliage and water flows reveal underground networks and interdependencies that are usually hidden. The negative color palette destabilizes the visual habit, suggesting the landscape as a living, multi-layered system.

Kiveli Zachariou – In the Burnt Forest

A year after the great fires, Zachariou returns to the burnt landscapes of Penteli, Parnitha and Rhodes. Her photographic eye captures the fragile balance between the loss and regeneration of a landscape that is slowly transforming, within a world of climate change.

Vassilis Kantas – Functional Dyspepsia

Kantas approaches functional dyspepsia as a psychosomatic phenomenon and wanders around Athens following the traces of physical discomfort. The body becomes a tool for reading the urban landscape, revealing stories that persist beneath the surface.

Georgia Touliatou – One-Eleven. Palermo.

Her photographic wanderings in Palermo map a city through the desires of her friends.

From the intensity of the markets to the silence of the churches, her images combine sweetness,

mortality and sunlight, revealing the many layers of the urban experience.
