Christina Dimitriadis presents a photograph from the series Building Living Leaving with the title Living Together. Three figures sharing a life, shades moving in the darkened spaces of their loves, both helpless and menacing; menacing because of their helplessness. Their togetherness is one of merging shadows, a unity without companionship, a unity in which each a stranger to themselves and to the others becomes the pathos of pleading even without recipients.

Alexandros Georgiou presents a colour photograph with the title New Jersey, which is portraying the artist as a young cater-waiter and is part of the series “A portrait of the artist as a young cater-waiter. Georgiou referring to this series said the following: “I worked in catering. I had a small camera in my tuxedo pocket and took pictures. Only me and some objects appear in the photos. I wanted to create a portrait of the artist as a cater waiter. Artist cater waiter.”

Axel Hütte presents a photograph of a Landscape in Island. The thematic of his work are the virgin landscapes. He photographs them giving them at the same time an atmosphere of poetry and silence. The specific work of Axel Hütte functions us a picture- document, provided that the peculiarity of the nature will be every time emphasized giving her a unique power.

Jack Pierson shows a photographic series made at Positano in Italy, drifting the viewer to a magic world, which in the reality happens to be polar to the world Pierson lives.
