My first time in Vama was in 2005. I have arrived there trying to beat my monsters and demons. Didn't make it. Who does? … Since then … for six years in a row some great people pack everything up, they hit the road, and they transform the fishermen village, into a celebration of "kallos", of companionship, of life itself (vslo.ro) - Michail
It was my daughter, a young athletic dancer herself, which brought me into the stadiums where the dancers compete. The first time was in 2008, at "Acropolis Open", in Athens. Since then, DanceSport events have been a chance for me to explore in a photographic way this special kind of people, capturing moments of their backstage activities. "The Dancers" is a work in progress. (Photos: Stavros Stamatiou)
"Surreal is what is most local, ethnic, class-bound, dated. It is the unposed slice of life. And what renders a photograph surreal is its irrefutable pathos as a message from time past, and the concreteness of its intimations about social class." S.Sontag
Named after Leipzig (Lipsca in 17th century Romanian), the word lipscan (singular of lipscani) meant trader who brought his wares from Western Europe. During the Communist period, the whole area was scheduled to be demolished, but this never came to fruition. The district became neglected ... I have rediscovered Lipscani in 2005. They made it since then! Or not! (by Michail) |
