ABOUT THE ARTWORK

Lahore, October 2002. In the heart of Lahore, a Pakistani prostitute takes center stage to attract clients, gracefully moving to the rhythm of traditional music. Adorned in red colorful attire, she captivates onlookers with her dance, seamlessly blending tradition and modernity. The dynamic interplay between the dancer's movements and the musicians' instrumental prowess narrates a story of celebration and cultural expression. Through this visual narrative, the image encapsulates the essence of Lahore's artistic spirit, where tradition and contemporary life intersect, and where the allure of dance becomes a captivating form of storytelling.

Award-winning photographer Yannis Kontos is no stranger to unusual situations. From the everyday life of an amputee in Sierra Leone to warzones around the world, to the streets of Pyongyang, North Korea, Kontos’s lens has captured unadorned but with respect a set of realities unknown to global audiences. His work has been featured in many well-respected publications like Life magazine or the cover of Time magazine. Social issues and the human factor are always center stage in the World Press Photo winner’s 30 year-long career in documentary work, but for his landscape art, it seems that he takes quite a different approach. Currently, Yannis Kontos is an Assistant Professor of Visual Studies and Creative Industries at the College of Humanities and Social Sciences of United Arab Emirates University. He holds a PhD degree in Documentary Photography from the University of Wales (UK) and a Master of Arts degree in Photographic Journalism from the University of Westminster (UK).
