I’ve moved quite a few times… to Athens, where I now live in a 30-square-meter studio apartment, with two suitcases—a fresh start. Adjusting to the pace of the big city is still difficult. When “outside” doesn’t work, I shut myself in. In a world where sometimes I fit in and sometimes I don’t. A photograph capable of saving me or intensifying my agitation. The kitchen is dimly lit. The flowers from the farmers’ market are never in vases. The glass of water, my lunch, and an ashtray full of cigarette butts are usually scattered haphazardly next to or in front of me. Just like my thoughts, at times. My camera and the lyrics of my favorite songs playing on the radio are my only companions.

Here, in the 30m² project by Giorgos Kylpasis, a daydreamer and photographer, we have images captured within the framework of a unique surrealism. The way they are presented—aside from being framed in different-sized frames—includes a sound track featuring the lyrics associated with each image.

Total number of photographs: 36.
The exhibition will also feature a companion album of the same title, containing additional images from Giorgos’s work.
Curated by Ioannis Tzaneteas.
Exhibition dates: July 2–18, Tuesday through Saturday
7:00 p.m.–10:00 p.m.

BIO

Giorgos Kylpasis was born in 1980 and is a graduate of the Technological Educational Institute of Epirus, Department of Tourism Management. He used to live in Patras, but in recent years he has been living and working in Athens. His involvement with photography began in 2015, when he started taking photos—self-taught and experimentally—of neighborhoods and landmarks in the city where he grew up. For several years, he was a member of the amateur photography group “Polymorpho,” and has participated in group and solo exhibitions in Patras and Athens, and in June 2020, one of his photographs was “featured” on the walls of the International Center of Photography in New York, alongside works by artists from around the world on the theme of the COVID-19 pandemic. He participated in the Queercon festival (September 2025) and, prior to that, in Art Ikaria (August 2025). Giorgos studied under Christos Sotiropoulos and was also a member of various photography groups in Athens.
