Traditional costumes in shop window front Plaka, From the series (Not in) A Common Ground

In his series (Not in) A Common Ground (2011-2016) Pavlos Stamatiadis explores, metaphorically and literally, the centrifugal forces of the Greek society experiencing the financial crisis, in which opposing views of the multi-faceted consumption of the body engage with traditional artistic practices, historic symbols and documents of the life of the outcasts, forming a dark, ominous portrait of the country.
