The Healing Power of Photography
Photography can serve as a therapeutic tool, allowing us to process complex emotions and navigate life’s challenges. By framing moments of vulnerability, pain, or transformation, it becomes a medium for self-discovery and emotional release. Therapeutic photography doesn’t merely document—it invites reflection, fosters dialogue, and helps us find meaning in the seemingly unbearable.
Family Adventures and the Anti-Album
By Evgenia Kasparidou
When Evgenia’s father, a 62-year-old farmer, was diagnosed with prostate cancer, an unprecedented adventure began for her family.
The photographic series emerged as a result of a psychotherapeutic process. The difficulties and fear are captured through the frames, while the text reveals the ridiculous situations that our contact with the possibility of death brings about, giving a human dimension to the narrative. The clinic, a transitional space where the sense of time and reality is catalyzed, is juxtaposed with the home-place, thus underscoring the temporality of our existence.
This is not a story about death or illness. It is an anti-family album, a story of negative memories. What we want to “bury” but will forever be there, rebuilding our bonds.
