Sergis Hadjiadamos

Welcome,
I have been experimenting lately with an old Glass Negative Plate Archive that I have inherited. The archive was discovered in a basement that happened to connect to a water canal. The Plates were stored there for over 30 years and as you understand they were damaged to an extent not restorable anymore.
The images extracted, prove to contain balanced compositions of various depicted characters blended with each other and mixed beautifully with deteriorated humid motifs. An absolute odyssey of self-generated images.
When I interact with them, digitally, I focus on the compositional artistic result of each independent piece, to provide them with the best transformational elements for them to exist in a digital future.
In 2018, I was awarded the prize of Excellence at the Larnaca Biennale providing three pictures taken from the archive, and in 2019 I held an exhibition that contain 40 artworks generated again from the archive.
In 2022, I took one step further and exhibited my latest work, which was mentored by Artist and Professor Maurice Kahn, in Athens which also provided two NFT Collections.
The journey has just begun. Welcome aboard.
