PHOTOGRAPHIC PAIRS 2019 (06-04-2019 9:00 pm) The series of exhibitions in cooperation with the “Photography Circle” continues with the photo exhibition of Pavlos Kourkafas and Angelos Balatsas…
The yearly exhibition series, directed by photo critic and founder of the "Photographic Circle, Platon Rivellis, features the work of two photographers, both members of the “Photography Circle”, whose paths in life or photography cross.
This year, the pair of the ninth consecutive exhibition, curated by photographer Panos Rozakis, are Pavlos Kourkafas and Angelos Balatsas.
The photos of Pavlos Kourkafas and Angelos Balatsas do full justice to the title of the exhibition series, seeing as their photographic coexistence, like any meaningful coexistence, is based on shared pursuits and deep spiritual kinship, but is nurtured by differences and fruitful juxtapositions.

In the “NO FINISH LINE” race all the participants can either walk or run at any time of the day or the night they wish, for as many times and any days they want, in any way and rhythm and for as long as it pleases them, in the circular route of 1000m around the canal at the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Centre; in this way, they offer money by covering kilometres.
