The photo diary of Evi Karagiannidis is a philosophical reading of the landscape of Attica. As ambitious as it may sound, however, it carries the truth, the intention is disinterested and clear, it paves the way to the light. This block is collected in a stylish, small bilingual book called “Serene Days, Morning Walks” and is an edition of the Luminous Eye, a photo gallery in Makrigianni (Mitzion 2A), which is, in fact, the center of photography. , interaction point, strong school. From this medium comes the publication, but the deposited work of Evi Karagiannidis comes from afar and very deep. The photos of the Galkionides section are a tribute to the unspoken Attica, nature, which provides a parallel opportunity. Evi Karagiannidis presents a poetry program. It picks up subtle vibrations and leaves imperceptible traces in the ancient soil of Hymettos. He first follows the path of Ilisos and reaches the pine-covered slopes of Kaisariani, in the shadow of the monastery and beyond. Organizing an itinerary in a landscape that could be described as archetypal for the Mediterranean, reeking of the scents of the South, expressed in poetic and visual attempts and intellectual plans, in the mists of time, Evi Karagiannidis manages to give something absolutely primary that is nevertheless inexplicably familiar, so that looms the desired novelty.

Evi Karagiannidis’ photographs “do not manifest themselves as mere visual experiences,” writes French photographer Bruno Chalifour in the book’s very beautiful text. “They invite us to feel them not only by sight, but also by touch, there is a tactile presence in the performance of the photographer, in Evi’s landscape, because this is “her” landscape, a safe harbor that invites us to share with her. “The photos are wrapped in silence and light. The sun creates shadows, and the steps of an invisible traveler open the way between the herbs, flowers, wild vegetation of Hymettus. The fragrant pine appears as a deity, along with skins, lygaria, holly. There is a process of deification, in pagan or even deeply metaphysical terms. Everything converges in exaltation, in humility Evi Karagiannidis has released many photographs.This is a reading of Attica, but also a personal rating.This is an alternative autobiography of a look.
