希腊Metzakis Manolis《画家格列柯》 个人影展
2006和2007年，我的一位导演朋友，拍摄关于画家格列柯的电影。他邀请我担任这部《格列柯》电影的摄影师。所以，我在拍摄的时候出现并有机会拍摄到了很多作品。但是最伟大的事情就是我可以有机会在拍摄的间隔时间利用演员、临时演员、工作室和灯光，也因此有了我这组作品。
《格列柯》是一部希腊自传电影，该电影描述了西班牙文艺复兴时期一位希腊画家的生平。这位十六世纪希腊的伟大艺术家，为了寻求自由和爱情，离开自己的故乡克里特，行经威尼斯，最后在西班牙他碰上他最强的敌人——西班牙宗教裁判所。但创新意识和力量使他脱颖而出，最终战胜了野蛮和无知。
我庆幸我将《格列柯》完整记录下来，这不仅是一部电影剧照的拍摄，在希腊，他更代表着一种创新和力量，这也是我想在作品中传递给大家的，因为，我们需要这种创新和力量，不仅是过去、现在和未来。
这部电影的拍摄成了我一个重要的经历，也给我带来意想不到的改变。本次展出的《画家格列柯》，是我在我拍摄的剧照中精选的20幅作品，我希望在我的作品中能够传递给大家这种力量和创新的意识。
About the photos of the exhibition
In 2006 and 2007, a friend director, shot a film about the life of the painter El-Greco. He asked me to be the photographer of the film. So, I was present at the shootings and had the opportunity to shoot a lot of photos. But the greatest thing about it was that I was given the chance, at the intervals between shootings to use the actors and the extras as well as the studios, the lights and thus be able to stage my photos such as those that you can see at the exhibition.
El Greco is a Greek biographical film about the life of the Greek painter of the Spanish Renaissance. He is a great Greek artist of the 16th century with an uncompromising character, who sets off from his homeland Crete and goes to Venice and finally Toledo, in search of freedom and love. There he is confronted by his greatest adversary, the Spanish Inquisition, but his creative consciousness and power make him stand out and overcome barbarity and ignorance.
It is my pleasure to completely record the El Greco. It is not only a film, but also represents innovation and power in Greece which I would like to pass on all of you through my work. We need this innovation and power in the past, present and future.
The shooting of the film have been a great experience and an unexpected change for me. I select 20 of my works and hope them can pass on all of you a creative consciousness and power.
