Stelios Kallinikou approaches photography as a spatially perfomative act. An archaeologist by training, he is interested in unearthing narratives of spaces that lie beyond words and can be oriented towards intimately connecting the becoming of a place to our own becoming. He presents us with floating narratives and interrelated dialogues, which grow out of and feed into the process of photography. His images appear mythological and ar- chaeologically proto-human, connecting something primordial to the present by narrativizing the body’s connection with the earth. Worlds are constructed at an introspective, meditative pace, and then act as speculative scenarios through which the intersections between territorial and ideological notions relating to ‘landscape’ -such as space/place and time/history – are explored. For the Phenomenon 3 exhibition Kallinikou presented works from the series Star gaze (2019), Flamingo theatre (2016), Over The Horizon (2018), and Mouflon (2019).
