Composing Images
Dimitra Gounari's work has fascinated me for the way she approaches Winnicott's concept of "reflection" and Freudian concepts of "transference" and "countertransference."
Without delving into overly complex psychological themes and staying within the realm of photography, Dimitra's ability to capture the complexity of our gaze is concise and effective.
Personally, I prefer this type of research that prompts reflection and inquiry while adhering to an aesthetic of beauty, where visual balance soothes the viewer and invites them to question through beauty.
Dimitra Gounari is a PhD candidate at the Department of Sound and Image at the Ionian University in Greece. She holds a Master of Arts in Visual Arts and Communication from Goldsmiths College, University of London, UK, with a scholarship from the Greek State Scholarship Foundation I.K.Y. She graduated from the Department of Photography at the Athens University of Applied Sciences, Greece. She has taught at the Department of Photography and Audiovisual Arts at the University of West Attica, the IB Visual Arts course, and is an examiner for IB DP Visual Arts.
Her artistic work has received recognition and awards from various institutions and competitions. She has exhibited in Greece, Belgium, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, etc., and has been published in catalogs in both Greek and international press. Her work is found in private and public collections.
This project took place in 2021-2022 on the Greek island of Evia, where Dimitra resides.
"I wandered many beaches to find the right spots. Mirrors were used for the photoshoots, which were integrated into the surrounding space to create multiple observations for viewers. There are reflections of some parts of me and my young daughter, as an attempt to incorporate my personal experiences into the place I come from. Most of the photographs were manipulated with editing software, as I am trying to compose a more complex environment where the real can be integrated with imaginative scenes to create a new space."
The relationship between humans and between humans and places is at the core of these inquiries.
I have long reflected on the role of the artist in 2024, of how necessary it is for research to approach the great challenges of our century and present them to the general public.
I would include Dimitra's work in this current of active artists. You can find the complete work at the following links: [Link to complete work]
