Spyros Chalikias (Netherlands) presents “Vespertine,” a photo essay diving into rites of passage and transformations. Returning to his home island, he experienced a surreal solitude, prompting the creation of a new photographic realm. This space mirrors a transient stage, hovering between past and future, intertwining his narrative with nature’s ceaseless metamorphoses. Though people are implied, their presence is felt rather than seen. The work charts a path from fragmentation to wholeness, embracing solitude as a profound companion in transformation, a reflection on eternal change.

Vespertine is a deep dive into the rites of passage, those anthropological milestones that signify our evolution from one phase of existence to another. A return to an island where my story began thrust me into a surreal, almost dystopian solitude. In this isolation, I veered away from the familiar, venturing instead into the creation of a new realm. This space, a photographic sanctuary, mirrors a stage of transformation, where everything is transient, hovering in the delicate balance between what was and what is yet to come. As I navigated this liminal phase, my narrative intertwined with the ceaseless transformations of the natural world, resonating with the metamorphosis that surrounds us.

So for the past 3 months i’ve been working on a video. The video is inspired by @mihalisshammas new album ‘Immersions’. It was shot using simple materials like milk and oil. It is a journey of human fluids and organs, interactions and conditions
