2006和2007年(nián)，我的一位導演朋友，拍(pāi)攝關于畫(huà)家格列柯的電影。他(tā)邀請(qǐng)我擔任這部《格列柯》電影的攝影師(shī)。所以，我在拍(pāi)攝的時候出現并有機(jī)會拍(pāi)攝到了很多作(zuò)品。但(dàn)是最偉大(dà)的事情就(jiù)是我可(kě)以有機(jī)會在拍(pāi)攝的間隔時間利用演員、臨時演員、工(gōng)作(zuò)室和燈光(guāng)，也因此有了我這組作(zuò)品。
《格列柯》是一部希臘自(zì)傳電影，該電影描述了西班牙文藝複興時期一位希臘畫(huà)家的生(shēng)平。這位十六世紀希臘的偉大(dà)藝術(shù)家，爲了尋求自(zì)由和愛情，離(lí)開自(zì)己的故鄉克裡(lǐ)特，行經威尼斯，最後在西班牙他(tā)碰上他(tā)最強的敵人(rén)——西班牙宗教裁判所。但(dàn)創新意識和力量使他(tā)脫穎而出，最終戰勝了野蠻和無知。
我慶幸我将《格列柯》完整記錄下來(lái)，這不僅是一部電影劇(jù)照(zhào)的拍(pāi)攝，在希臘，他(tā)更代表着一種創新和力量，這也是我想在作(zuò)品中傳遞給大(dà)家的，因爲，我們需要這種創新和力量，不僅是過去(qù)、現在和未來(lái)。
這部電影的拍(pāi)攝成了我一個重要的經曆，也給我帶來(lái)意想不到的改變。本次展出的《畫(huà)家格列柯》，是我在我拍(pāi)攝的劇(jù)照(zhào)中精選的20幅作(zuò)品，我希望在我的作(zuò)品中能夠傳遞給大(dà)家這種力量和創新的意識。
About the photos of the exhibition

In 2006 and 2007, a friend director, shot a film about the life of the painter El-Greco. He asked me to be the photographer of the film. So, I was present at the shootings and had the opportunity to shoot a lot of photos. B greatest thing about it was that I was given the chance, at the intervals between shootings to use the actors and the extras as well as the studios, the lights and thus be able to stage my photos such as those that you can see at the exhibition.

El Greco is a Greek biographical film about the life of the Greek painter of the Spanish Renaissance. He is a great Greek artist of the 16th century with an uncompromising character, who sets off from his homeland Crete and goes to Venice and finally Toledo, in search of freedom and love. There he is confronted by his greatest adversary, the Spanish Inquisition, but his creative consciousness and power make him stand out and overcome barbarity and ignorance.

It is my pleasure to completely record the El Greco. It is not only a film, but also represents innovation and power in Greece which I would like to pass on all of you through my work. We need this innovation and power in the past, present and future.

The shooting of the film have been a great experience and an unexpected change for me. I select 20 of my works and hope them can pass on all of you a creative consciousness and power.
