KOSTAS MAROS – Traces of Absence

Myths of Everyday Life I / 2022
Hahnemühle Photopearl fine art paper, framed in walnut with museum-quality glass
99 x 125 cm
Edition 1/5

In July, the exhibition will be open and available for viewing by appointment.

The exhibition brings together works from the series Myths of Everyday Life and Cicatrice, exploring landscapes and urban spaces as traces of human presence and memory. Between nocturnal city scenes, quiet light atmospheres, and the monumental marble quarries of Carrara, the photographs move between documentary observation and atmospheric intensity.

In Myths of Everyday Life, Kostas Maros photographs urban spaces as if something has just happened or is about to. No faces, no gestures. Only traces of actions that have already taken place, and a mood that reaches beyond the frame. There is something cinematic about these images. Like an establishing shot, they don’t tell us where the story is going. They place us inside a feeling.

Between nocturnal city scenes, quiet light atmospheres, and the monumental marble quarries of Carrara, the photographs move between documentary observation and atmospheric intensity.

In first serie, Maros focuses on the marble quarries of Carrara - landscapes shaped by extraction, history, and human intervention. The monumental cuts into the mountains reveal tensions between nature, industry, and aesthetics, while pointing toward long-term ecological transformation.
