“Another Look”
The Photometria Photography Center, in collaboration with the Photography Laboratory of the Department of Visual Arts & Art Sciences of the University of Ioannina, presents the exhibition of its students entitled “Another Look”.
The Photometria Photography Center continues its effort to highlight the artistic creation of our city. With this in mind, he is proceeding with his collaboration with the University of Ioannina, bringing the School of Fine Arts once again within the city.
The exhibition “Another Look” in which active students, as well as TETET graduates of the School of Fine Arts of the University of Ioannina participate, aims to highlight young creativity and the variety of works that can be produced, having photography as an expressive medium. Depending on the temperament, imagination, experiences and technical skill of each student, it is found that there are no limits to the ways in which we can capture the world, visible and invisible, that surrounds us.
