But the legendary architect later managed to escape from the Labyrinth and flew away. What we define as "self" seems to be nothing more than a construction of consciousness, a complex network that weaves itself incessantly and nurtures an illusory sense of continuity mainly present when we reflect on our memories, immerse ourselves in daily routines, or hold expectations for what’s to come. Although we often feel trapped within this structure, we constantly update it, as persistently as Joseph Grand (in the Plague by Albert Camus) rewrites the first sentence of his still unwritten book over and over again, in his effort to refine it. This photographic body of work attempts to bring to the surface such a fragile construction and delve into the paradox of personal identity, by putting together the scattered pieces of a mirror reflecting memories, dreams, desires, fears and traumas. What if the meeting point of these unseen yet intertwined realities could spark a shift in perspective, revealing a way out? <img width="1700" height="1133" width_o="1700" height_o="1133" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/7ed697de0329eb756727cbbef91b2ec35b98bb6b00b29ad45ba5ff6a272f0f8b/06-001c_3_2_crop-copy.jpg" data-mid="195930756" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/7ed697de0329eb756727cbbef91b2ec35b98bb6b00b29ad45ba5ff6a272f0f8b/06-001c_3_2_crop-copy.jpg" /> <img width="1133" height="1700" width_o="1133" height_o="1700" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/33b52e9e03d77aeb41271a5df5c00abfc401d7177204cdf2995319a2f72f51d4/_DSC4166_NEW2.jpg" data-mid="195930753" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/33b52e9e03d77aeb41271a5df5c00abfc401d7177204cdf2995319a2f72f51d4/_DSC4166_NEW2.jpg" /> <img width="1700" height="1133" width_o="1700" height_o="1133" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/a7bb20875d618bf7e9f71556b7344fb50098e893fd0574e4dd02c0c9a586fc74/_DSC0063.jpeg" data-mid="195930752" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/a7bb20875d618bf7e9f71556b7344fb50098e893fd0574e4dd02c0c9a586fc74/_DSC0063.jpeg" /> <img width="1700" height="1135" width_o="1700" height_o="1135" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/84fe0f8bb0be5be81efcc3f73ee2a54050240213442917b715bde86af352e250/DSC02581.jpg" data-mid="195930757" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/84fe0f8bb0be5be81efcc3f73ee2a54050240213442917b715bde86af352e250/DSC02581.jpg" /> <img width="1700" height="1133" width_o="1700" height_o="1133" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/3c1a1a592066ccd61344a24350b3aec962c5b3875196c9a02a808f546c3d743c/_DSC4236_crp.jpg" data-mid="195930755" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/3c1a1a592066ccd61344a24350b3aec962c5b3875196c9a02a808f546c3d743c/_DSC4236_crp.jpg" /> <img width="1135" height="1700" width_o="1135" height_o="1700" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/9f7e6b59997b41fc77d7a7b2708c45f39acd619c90edefe07ee0d0bfdfd735cc/_DSC9978c.jpg" data-mid="195930758" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/9f7e6b59997b41fc77d7a7b2708c45f39acd619c90edefe07ee0d0bfdfd735cc/_DSC9978c.jpg" /> <img width="1700" height="1133" width_o="1700" height_o="1133" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/2643093317e6474b2da1cb3878651eec58b8063c3b0ac14fae74fa9ff1132945/_DSC0046.jpeg" data-mid="195930750" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/2643093317e6474b2da1cb3878651eec58b8063c3b0ac14fae74fa9ff1132945/_DSC0046.jpeg" /> <img width="1700" height="1133" width_o="1700" height_o="1133" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/edc2b54b7cd296644a451018dca6babb218d21cd483fa4fde0e7ee38ff06fc74/_DSC1969_upright.jpg" data-mid="195930754" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/edc2b54b7cd296644a451018dca6babb218d21cd483fa4fde0e7ee38ff06fc74/_DSC1969_upright.jpg" /> <img width="1700" height="1133" width_o="1700" height_o="1133" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/36e3c8c491d58e223e1abb52193eb0ed941a4e8024c6eeddd78891cf543102d5/_DSC0049.jpg" data-mid="195930751" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/36e3c8c491d58e223e1abb52193eb0ed941a4e8024c6eeddd78891cf543102d5/_DSC0049.jpg" /> https://nikospapangelis.com/breathing-through-the-uncertain Wed, 21 Apr 2021 14:45:45 +0000 nikospapangelis.com https://nikospapangelis.com/breathing-through-the-uncertain Breathing Through The Uncertain This series—produced during the COVID-19 pandemic—employs the visual experience of glasses fogging up by wearing a face mask as an expressive medium, to convey the uncertainty with which we look towards both present and future. Behind the mask, the warmth of the breath envelops the skin, yet it offers no consolation. Within a few steps, the heart beats faster, following the rhythm of the breath; people and objects momentarily lose their shape. Our distance from the reality we once thought we knew is growing, as is the distance between people. <img width="1002" height="1500" width_o="1002" height_o="1500"

number of villages in Northern Greece, following a journey of transcendence and purification – from lighting the fire to dancing over the hot coals, until there are only ashes left.

The utilisation of the newspaper’s physicality, the sheets that can independently be installed on the walls of the exhibition space, the ability given to the viewer to edit their own version of the story, all relate to the paradox of image-based narration. With the medium of photography, this work pursues to highlight the gaps that reveal the construction of the narrative, all the while created in an environment that is probably protected from them.More info about the project here <img width="2000" height="1336" width_o="2000" height_o="1336" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/5e75afa82da5248935c40924d3533af8aba453f93d6ab266d2325ad8bb640d3e/DSC01938.jpg" data-mid="54139504" border="0" data-scale="67" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/5e75afa82da5248935c40924d3533af8aba453f93d6ab266d2325ad8bb640d3e/DSC01938.jpg" /> https://nikospapangelis.com/Info Fri, 25 Oct 2019 17:11:30 +0000 nikospapangelis.com https://nikospapangelis.com/Info Nikos Papangelis was born and raised in Thessaloniki. He studied history and archaeology at the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki and was introduced to photography at Stereosis. He also holds an MA in filmmaking (specialised in cinematography) from Goldsmiths, University of London and an MA in photography and visual language from AKTO / Middlesex University. Since 2012 he has been based in Athens, working freelance as a cinematographer. By incorporating the medium of photography, moving image and installation in his artistic practice, he attempts to develop a unique relationship with these media, both in terms of form and content, without submitting their use to the claims of objectivity asserted by representation. online presentations: Selected Work, Imperfect Poetry Online Exhibition (Float Magazine, 2024) Daedalus (against walls), Shortlisted in Paris Photo Carte Blanche Students (2023) Breathing Through The Uncertain, Kiosk der Demokratie (2023) Breathing Through The Uncertain, Urbanautica (2021) Breathing Through The Uncertain, Phases Magazine (2021) Daedalus (against walls), Float Magazine (2021)Selected Work, Der Greif Guest Room: Lucy Soutter (2021) Selected Works, Der Greif Guest Room: Marie Gomis-Trezise (2020) Daedalus (against walls), Photologio (2020) Daedalus (against walls), Kiosk der Demokratie (2020) Daedalus (against walls), PHROOM Magazine (2018) Daedalus (against walls), AINT – BAD Magazine (2018) Selected Works, Phases Magazine (2017) Selected Work, Whitelight Rooms (2016) printed publications: Daedalus (against walls), Float Magazine, Imperfect Poetry Zine (2024) Daedalus (against walls), Yogurt Magazine, Issue No.04: WILDNESS Flavour (2023) Breathing Through The Uncertain, Understanding The Change - Identity.Culture.Nature (SIZ Edizioni – Ashtart Consultancy, 2022) Daedalus (against walls), Unfold 01: Counterfeit / Counterfate (2019) Daedalus (against walls), AINT – BAD Magazine, Issue No.13 (2018) contact details: nikospapangelis@gmail.com ︎ ︎
