Panos Chatzistefanou, Offline (DOCO 2023)

The photos are part of an ongoing project entitled Offline - “You are not connected…” In today’s pictorial society, concentration is scarce due to the inflation of information and choices, on the one hand. On the other hand, the subjects aim at self-realization, diligently their image and experiences on social media. But what happens after “Logout”? When does the show for a digital audience end? Does consciousness begin to realize itself with a force on the second? The project focuses on everyday moments, seemingly trivial, but which hide a reflective mood, making them more personal but at the same time through their own reality allow the viewer to identify with the protagonist. Images as endless possibilities of self and personal otherness.
