Harris Kondosphyris is an installation artist concerned with space and experience and has shown his work in major galleries in Greece and internationally. In 2004 he co-operates with Cheap Art Context Gallery (Athens) for the production and the exhibition of the installation Athens-Beijing, which was the official representation of Greece in the 26th Biennale of Sao Paulo, Brazil, with the art-critic and historian, Irini Savvani, as the Commissioner. The artwork Athens-Beijing was also exhibited at the 2nd International Beijing Biennale (September 2005).
Harris is currently showing Adorno in love at the Globe Gallery, a collaboration with the composer Manos Kornelakis. Adorno in Love accounts the moment where philosopher T. Adorno takes a photo of his reflected image in a mirror that at the same time reflects a couple at the end of love, in total alienation. In this work Harris is tracing the limits between visual artwork and fundamental experience. In doing so,
he looks at the obscure connection between creativity and the
illusive substance of self in the digital era.
The exhibition entails kaleidoscopic mirrors in a dynamic installation consisting of two images immersed in Kornelakis' ever-developing soundtrack. Harris Kondosphyris and Manos Kornelakis both live and work in Athens, Greece.
