The presence of Oikonomopoulos in the field of Greek photography is a great gain. And I believe that after his professional acclaim and international recognition Economopoulos will allow himself a deeper exploration of his potential. I must also congratulate ΄Indiktos publications and their initiator Kostas Ordolis who support with their work what few have realized that photographic artistic history is written through books.

Fairy tales are built from a veneer of lies that hides and reveals a substratum of truth.
Fairy tales appeal to the imagination using figures of logic. of photography. Every photo. Because every photo is a fairy tale. Which shows what reason understands and implies what imagination gives birth to Julia Margaret Cameron used to tell her children fairy tales. For her greatgrandmother who was in the court of Marie Antoinette or for her father who fought with the photo background removing Bengali lancers. And then he discovered the great fairy tale of art. Of painting and poetry. Lancelot and Guinevere Ophelia and Hamlet together with the otherworldly painted figures of her PreRaphaelite friends became her dream and at the same time real world. And then she discovered that her camera could also tell such stories.
And that her loved ones might have been reincarnations of the heroes who inhabited her dreams. And then he went to Italy and discovered that a few centuries earlier in a region bordering Tuscany and Umbria some painters had transformed Gods In Julia Margaret Cameron photographed her own Holy Family. He closed her in an imaginary circle. Circle formed by the faces themselves darkness and light. Nest and prison. The sanctity is drawn from the one the first the wonderful tale. But it transforms into an eternal symbol where the manger exists as a memory. The faces are us you yesterday today and always.
