Description:
Nikos Koutantos presents the photography exhibition “43 Shots”. The exhibition takes place at a time when both an economic and deep cultural crisis is evolving and, more importantly, when a crisis in values has limited our thoughts and imagination. It constitutes a gesture of solidarity to a society I had the pleasure of meeting during my last summer holidays. This is the society of the small islands of Lipsoi, in the northern part of the Dodecanese between the islands of Patmos and Leros in the Aegean. On the one hand I was fortunate enough to spend my holidays there, but on the other hand I had the misfortune to become ill. Beyond the genuine nature of the people of the island, I also experienced the harsh reality they are faced with; The absence of a pharmacy and a serious shortage of medical supplies, being delivered by boat to the island just once a month, weather permitting, to the 700 inhabitants, most of them elderly.
The aim of this exhibition is to use all the proceeds from the sale of the photographs to purchase and send medical supplies to the beautiful island of Lipsoi.
