Description

Photographer Thodoris Tzalavras's exhibition NICOSIA IN DARK AND WHITE will be on display at the Youthboard Mutlicentre in Limassol from June 14th to 17th.

A collection of black and white photographs of buildings adjacent to the Green Line in Nicosia, the exhibition provides an intimate look inside the long time abandoned buildings of the divided capital. In 40 pictures that span a period of four years Tzalavras captures on film the neglected part of an otherwise vibrant city.

"These black and white photographs of the dead zone bring the history of this land to life." Eleni Mavrou, Mayor of Nicosia

"A tremendous collection of photographs – a fantastically atmospheric testimony, in images which seem to capture not just the picture but the sound and maybe even the smell/air quality of the moment. Wonderful." Jane Draycott, poet
