Spiros Poros: Love and Strife = Cosmic Cycle

28 May, 2014 - 09 Jun, 2014

Greek native Spiros Poros discovered his passion for photography during his journey around the world taking snapshots of people in their cultural environment. His photography has a very cinematographic appeal in the way it portrays its protagonist and their moods. Over time his photography has become recognizable for its distinct style that reflects his respects and thoughtfulness for the theme.

Love and Strife = Cosmic Cycle is inspired by the writing of Greek pre-Socratic philosopher Emperdocles鈥 (495 BC 鈥 435 BC) as well as the German H枚lderlin鈥檚 romantic poetry (1770-1843). In both we come across similarities in terms of trying to combine myth and logic, pop culture with philosophy. Their philosophical claim was based on the fact that counterbalancing powers rule the world, nature and human. These powers themselves gave birth to the world; human and divine as one in one. The collection represents, not only the controversies that rule the world and alternate in cycles of rhythm fighting one with another, but also human passions, the instinctive, emotional, primitive drives in a human being (including lust, anger, aggression and jealousy). Some of them remind us of Empedocles' Strife, and some of Empedocles' Love.
