Photographic Pairs features the work of two photographers, both members of the “Photography Circle”, whose paths in life or photography cross.
Platon Rivellis, photo critic and founder of the «Photography Circle», is curator of the exhibition series.
The two photographers Anthi Mara and Panagiotis Markolefas at the Cultural Center “ Megaron Gyzi”, share a personal relationship which began when they were introduced while participating at the “Circle”. The juxtaposition (and contradistinction) of their work is very interesting.
