ANTONIS THEODORIDIS: FROM A MUSEUM OF SYSTEMATIC DISPLACEMENT
︎
Antonis Theodoridis is an Athens-based artist, working in the medium of Photography. He is a Fulbright Foundation and Stavros Niarchos Foundation fellow, holding a Photography MFA degree from the University of Hartford, Connecticut. His practice is a mixture of traditional analogue photography along with digital processes, research, collage, and printing.
Using a variety of cameras and mediums he depicts places and people, producing sharp in detail and rich in color pigment prints and installations. Following a road-trip along the Western States in 2014, his work Newspaper from the American West was published in Greece by Agra Publications. Since 2016 he works and photographs within the city of Athens leading to his series Ways of Escape, exhibited at the Benaki Museum during Athens Photo Festival 2017.
Through his work he examines how photographs and image culture in general, shape western perception, emphasizing the notions of cultural bias within our limits of historical memory and knowledge. His process aims to reinvent context and meaning through documentary, collage strategies, print-making, and installation.
His work has been presented in Greece and abroad. It can be found in the collections of the European Investment Bank Institute, the Thessaloniki Museum of Photography, the Municipal Gallery of Thessaloniki, as well as private collections.
