A Photographic Itinerary on Mount Athos 1969-2001

2006réf. BEN487An album with pictures by Costas Balafas from his trips to Mount Athos from 1969 to 2001. The artist's purpose was to put together his own photographic testimony about the place and the people that inhabit it. Under his gaze the imposing monastery buildings bring to life the glory of the Byzantine Empire while the life of the monks with its own particular organisation unchanged over the passing years brings to his mind what they have sacrificed in the struggles of the Greek Nation. It also includes excerpts from interviews by Kostas Balafas which were filmed by Angelos Papastefanou. Both the shooting of the photographs by Kostas Balafas and the implementation of the book were made possible by the valuable contribution and assistance of Brother Ioustinos Simonopetritis a monk of the Holy Monastery of Simonopetra. Kostas Balafas Viaje fotografico al Monte Atos 1969-2001. Descripcion: Album bilingue de la exposicion del mismo titulo celebrada en el Museo Benaki en el verano de 2006 13 de julio – 3 de septiembre con las fotografias de Kostas Balafas de su visita al Monte Atos de 1969 a 2001. El objetivo del creador era dar forma a su propio testimonio fotografico sobre el lugar y sus gentes. En su mirada los imponentes edificios monasticos hacen revivir la grandeza de Bizancio mientras que la vida de los monjes con su peculiar organizacion que permanece identica con el paso de los anos le evoca la contribucion de estos a la lucha por la libertad de la Nacion. El album ha sido supervisado por Chrysoula Sotiropoulou. Viene prologado por Fani Constantinou y Nikos Vatopoulos. Se incluyen fragmentos de entrevistas de Kostas Balafas filmadas por Angelos Papastefanou. Tanto las fotografias de Kostas Balafas como la realizacion del libro fueron llevadas a cabo con el apoyo del monje Justino Simonopetritis. // Hard cover 28x24 cm 276 pp. 180 B/W pictures; net weight 1640 gr.
