The Photography and Cinematography Club of Chania, in co-organization with the Municipality of Chania, organizes the 2nd Chania Photodays from May 25 to June 2, 2024.

As part of this week of activities on photography and its place in the photobook, a PHOTOGRAPHY EXHIBITION is organized with the theme of LOST by its students and a PHOTOBOOK EXHIBITION by its members.

LOST

The acceleration of the pace of life nowadays, combined with the loss of the last free urban spaces, and the limited access to public goods in our country, creates an uncanny transformation of normality. In these extreme changes, there is usually an instinctive resistance to unconditional acceptance. Many times the vehicle of this reaction is art.

As we wander through the shadows of loss, we also discover the beauty of searching and reassembling.

Lost values, feelings and desires. Lost time, lost opportunities, lost homelands. Lost in our thoughts and ourselves.

We asked our “students” to explore the mystery of the lost, using photography as a means of , and make us fellow travelers in this experience.

Each of their images is also a journey to the surface of the lost, an attempt to capture the invisible, and to retrieve memories. Lost places and abandoned moments are brought back to life.
