"City of Angels, beautiful as a flower, slippery as a fish, the faceless speaker, I, gasping for air, all empty chairs and killer looks, speaking the tongues of five continents, already on ice. The hanging man does his job, asks no questions. Pop, pop, pop goes America, Shangrila, mispronounced. As in the cloudy skies, so in the vast subsystems, chasing beauty in the mundane, brown water in the canals, corrugated tin, orgiastic orchids, anime effigies, wrecked mecha. Offerings of seed, fruit and flowers on the liquid road of slow procession. So close the man, yet a God, nobility and simplicity, Buddha of the streets, Buddha of the shrines, Buddha of the taxi drivers under the monsoons. Red yellow, the enduring opposition, red and blue come to balance. Wood, tin and concrete and the Animism in their soul, deer man so confident, man woman scrapes by. Compulsive cultural behaviour, even on the way to the hospital - centipede boy ready to heal. Laksha there is best in town and royal or street, always delicious. A game of hide and seek, three years and counting." Pericles Boutos
Pericles Boutos has been photographing for over 45 years, simultaneously pursuing a career in the Diplomatic Service of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Greece from 1986 to 2023.
This dual role has given him the opportunity to experience many parts of the world from the inside and to base his artistic production on this unique perspective. Thus, during each of his stays abroad, he has conceived and realized photographic series with specific themes and technical approaches.
He has lived and worked in Athens, Vienna, Venice, Novorossiysk, Helsinki, and Bangkok.
He has exhibited in Athens, Thessaloniki, Venice, Florence, New York, and Bangkok.
