Mystery 8 Eyes on Japan
project
Description
Mystery 8 Eyes on Japan was a photo exhibition by Antonis Theodoridis, after his visit to Osaka and Elefsina, that was presented at the Leonidas Kanellopoulos Exhibition Centre from 14-12-2023 to 11-02-2024 with the support of the EU- Japan Fest Japan committee.
Via the Open Call for Visual Photographers that was addressed in the context of the project Mystery 8 Eyes On Japan -always under the artistic supervision of Mikiko Kikuta and the EU- Japan Fest Japan committee- the Greek photographer Antonis Theodoridis was chosen to travel to Japan and record the traces of the Japanese culture in the prefecture of Osaka. Then, he stayed in Eleusis in order to continue his photographic observation, looking for possible convergences and divergences of the two geographical places and historical cultures in the present day. As a creative epilogue to his journey, Antonis Theodoridis returned to Elefsina for a Photo Exhibition under the title “The Return of Spring and other Rites of Passage”. The exhibition was dedicated to the convergences and contrasts of those two worlds, trying to discover a common ground through universal concepts such as the change of seasons or the transitions from decay to rebirth, from mourning to joy, from childhood to adulthood.
The Mystery 8 Eyes on Japan was also presented in the frame of Mystery 1 CLOSING: OPENING, A Ceremony on December 16 and 17, 2023.
