Distinct District
Vassilis Karakatsanis

A visual approach to the Athens landscape through personal experiences. Each artwork is a true story that has played in the suffocating, cement environment of Athens & Piraeus districts. A personal calendar that has churches for bookmarks, identifying each area.

They are 'distinct' points, not reflecting reality, but the synopsis of the artist's feelings and through this virtual reality reflecting and the viewer's view. Furniture, objects, insects and animals are the leaders of the urban grid, recalling our effort for an urban way of life, sometimes authentic and sometimes not.

Asceticism and subtraction in the performance of the urban landscape, symbolism with humour, through the filing of his personal conclusions and acceptance of reality. In most of his thematic units he decryns the urban landscape as an internal process. Presently, the environment is presented as a surprise, with a theatrical action entity.
