A gap

Posted on September 28, 2018 by Iakovos Hatzistavrou

Χωρίς να το καταλάβω, ο καιρός πέρασε (όπως εύκολα γίνεται χωρίς να το σκεφτείς)
Όλον αυτόν τον καιρό,
σχεδόν ένα χρόνο από τον Ιούλιο του 17 μέχρι και σήμερα,
μπήκα σε διαδικασίες διαφορετικές από ότι ήξερα και είχα συνηθίσει να κάνω.

Στην σκέψη μου για τα πράγματα,
στην διάθεση μου απέναντι στην εικόνα,
στην στάση μου απέναντι στην ζωή,
όλα αυτά τα γιατί-κάνω-αυτό-που κάνω….

τον λόγο.

Έτσι είπα να δοκιμάσω κάτι διαφορετικό,
να δοκιμάσω άλλα σχήματα
να το πω διαφορετικά και μέσα από αισθητικά γνωρίσματα λογοτεχνικών κινημάτων
να αφήσω τη ματιά να παίξει

Without realizing it, the time passed (so easily done without thinking about it)
All this time, almost a year from July 17 until today,

I went into procedures different from what I knew and I was used to doing.
In my thoughts about things,
my attitude towards the image,
my attitude towards life,
all the things, why-I-do-what-I-do……..

the reason

So I said to try something different,

to try other shapes
to say it differently and through aesthetic features of literary movements
to let the look playing

The graffiti says: my country is my childhood

Without words I’ll start a small photographic presentation of every last month, as the wind through the moments and made them history – no forgotten history –

These are the selection from the snapshots I did, according mostly from accidental events, professional shots and my walks around the streets

I decided to do this every month as a small appreciation for the people and the moments were smiled to me !!

MAY 2017 in Cyprus.
