The artists nominated by
Void nominates Ilias Lois based on his significant contributions to the Greek photography scene. Typically involves long-term series, his work experimenting with the interplay of different photographic genres, mixing quasi-documentary strategies and staged photography. His particular interest in sequencing and non-linear forms of narration aligns with our appreciation for editing and bookmaking.
Based in Sweden, Greek artist Katerina Tsakiri explores the female identity in Western culture, specifically concentrating on the female body. This is evident in her project The Smiley Cut – a visual chronicle of her journey through cancer treatment.
Klavdia Balampanidou explores themes of personal and collective identity, belonging and mental health. Void is captivated by her compelling work in progress, which portrays young individuals detached from urban environments. The dramatic nocturnal ambience of her work, juxtaposed with the use of harsh flashlight, creates a cinematic atmosphere that aesthetically resonates with our own themes of interest.
Louiza Vradi engages with mediums including photography, video, new media, textile, painting and installation, and her subtle interplay between reality and fiction, particularly in social documentary practices, resonates deeply with Void's interests. Beyond her artistic pursuits, Vradi has served as an art educator and therapist, offering support for mental and psycho-social challenges and further informing her work.
Tony Dočekal is visual artist propelled by the pursuit of connection and the ever-shifting nature of identity. Void first came across Dočekal through her project The Color of Money and Trees which provides a poignant narrative that unfolds as a speculative road movie, blurring the line between reality and imagination. Captivated by the project, we are now in the process of creating her first monograph.
