Reframed Abstraction

by G. P. Moci

I used this series of fine art photography as a process to communicate the abstraction I see within the urban landscape, the visual poetry hidden between concrete walls and city lights. By reframing my photos, I focused on changing the perception of abstraction, this photography book contains a small part of my work on abstraction, in this photography publication I present an artistic attempt to reframe and change the perception of the raw result of my photos in order to link the urban landscape captured by the camera with the abstract perception I see in each photo. As a visual artist and photographer I use photography as a medium to create abstraction not by an effort to capture it but to manipulate the initial result, I did use the traditional techniques of photography as I include in this book photos captured with film and digital photography.

About the author

He started his career in the theater and thus he studied at the UoA (Faculty of Theater studies). The theater in the general and theatrical scenes became the starting point for his visual creations.

After a decade of active career as a visual artist, he deepens his understanding of art with a BA in the field of Fine Art & New Media at Middlesex University.

During that time he experimented with installation and mixed medium techniques. For the best part of his career, he creates his artworks in his atelier (Atelie-Moci, established in Athens) and experimented with all types of visual expression depicting human existence, separated and as a whole.

His artistic scope is exploratory, as he searches the boundaries of a simple line capable to express everything and nothing at all. In the last couple of years, he has expanded his means of expression through his first attempt as an indie filmmaker and poet. List of publications, Isabella, The love letter of Gerard Petén Mitten, A long verse of sorrow, Suicide of Tears, Fears of Hope.
