Imagefields Lab specializes in the production of documentaries & fiction films,
the creation of mixed-media art projects, and the organization of educational workshops.
As a filmmaker, he is the creator and producer of the documentary Brothers in Wrestling.
The film is currently in post-production.
As a visual artist, a significant part of his work focuses on exploring memory
as a process of identity formation - both personal and collective.
He approaches the media he uses (photography,video,mixed media,installation,painting,drawing,poetry) not only as documentary tools, but also as means of interpretation,reimagination, and transformation of lived experience.
He is particularly interested in how the image activates mechanisms of recall and loss,
while functioning simultaneously as a narrative tool and a medium for re-signifying identity over time.
In parallel, another strand of his work revolves around an open-ended exploration of selfhood
and the existential questions that arise in relation to human existence, the environment,
and the structures that shape them.
His artistic practice often engages with philosophical,political, and anthropological issues.
These works operate as spaces of observation,critical reflection and inquiry,
capturing the fragility,contradictions and transformations of the human condition.
He is a collaborator of CNN & Al Jazeera Media Network,
two of the world’s leading news organizations.
His work has been honored with international awards and distinctions
and has been exhibited both in Greece and internationally.
