Lakis Papastathis. In Search of A Lost Picture

Apr 03, 2025 - Jul 20, 2025

The exhibition entitled “Lakis Papastathis - In Search of the Lost Picture’’ is an effort to shed light on the multi-faceted artistic personality of filmmaker Lakis Papastathis: Film, fiction and documentary, literature, art, photography. 

Lakis Papastathis, as a creative force, met, recorded and studied well-known and less known intellectuals and artists from two centuries of the modern-Greek world, while pursuing a connection, through his films, with literature, art and modern Greek history.

On the creative route of the filmmaker, writer and collector, unfold stories and encounters with people who left a unique mark on an era spanning over six decades. They all connect with us once more through the documentary program PARASKINIO (Backstage - created by Lakis Papastathis and Takis Chatzopoulos) and the films and books of the filmmaker: From Karolos Koun to Dionysis Savvopoulos to Alexis Damianos and Nikos Koundouros.

In search of the lost picture: a journey in memory and time, through people, films, documentaries, books, rare literature magazines, film archives. All the roads of Papastathis’ art connect and intertwine to compose this unique palimpsest created by the lifework of the filmmaker.
