Thessaloniki PhotoBiennale 2023
Album presentation “Dimitris Mougos. A couple of photos”
Dimitris Mougos has been recording moments of his friends for years, allowing us to take a look at the complex mosaic of his friendship and artistic creation. This special mosaic will unfold at the presentation of the album “A couple of photos”, Petites-Maisons editions, which will take place at MOMus-Thessaloniki Museum of Photography (Pier A’, Warehouse A’, Thessaloniki Port area), on Thursday 01 February 2024 at 19:00.
In the exhibition “A Few Photos” presented at The Eye Altering gallery, curated by Eleni Giannakoulis, as part of the Thessaloniki Photobiennale in the fall of 2023, Dimitris Mougos did not simply share with the audience photographs from his group’s shared and creative journey, but created an in situ photographic environment from objects left behind by Lex concertgoers, things found along the way over the years, thousands of photo prints and typographic sheets from the album’s production.
