Eikones

The universe of professional athleticism is inextricably linked to social habits, and vice versa. Thus, the human behaviours that emerge within this “ecosystem” are visible not only in the stadiums and their associated fields, but also in other aspects of our daily lives. This phenomenon expands to the point where it eventually becomes political.

Visual stories that derive from the Hellenic and the European news reports were the objective here, the conclusion is just a footnote. Famous personalities, special events and manifestations of a universal subculture unravel before the lens.

These images were published during 2008 in Eikones Magazine, which was distributed at the time as a supplement of the newspaper Ethnos (nationwide circulation).
