“Imaginary Monuments” by Photographer Alexis Vasilikos

Alexis Vasilikos (previously featured here) is a visual artist based between Athens and Leros, Greece. Primarily working with photography, Vasilikos’ work explores a broad spectrum of imagery, ranging from post-painterly abstraction to peripatetic photography. His recent series, “Imaginary Monuments,” considers the question: “If photographs were monuments, what kind of monuments would they be?” Playing with meaning and its absence, collective identity, and imagination, each photograph is titled after an imaginary monument.
