Stelios Efstathopoulos | Fade out
In the work of Stelios Efstathopoulos, this restoration of what has been photographed is impossible, except in a world inhabited by queer creatures, phantoms and scarecrows. Moving from the center of the pictures towards the periphery the description becomes increasingly nebulous, so that the boundary of the photographic frame is displaced towards the interior of the picture. The photographed scenes are projected onto the surface of the photographic paper as the reflections of the world around them, an obviously complex photographic device that in the end assimilates spectators and masqueraders in a scenery dominated by the mysterious.
