An artist talk at The Hellenic Centre in which photographer Christos Dikeakos looks back over five decades of his artistic practice, in conversation with curator Emily Butler. It covers key works including the series Sites and Places: Athens (1986-1997) and Sites and Places: Vancouver (1990-2015), which reflect on the layered nature of history, moving cultures and the presence of Greek mythology in present-day life. Dikeakos' long-standing fascination with collecting is also explored through The Collectors, a series of portraits of artists, patrons, curators, writers and art lovers.
