Stratos Kalafatis uses the pinhole camera, which brings him to the primitive operation of the camera and the magic way of recording. A daring act because flirting with conceptual abstraction bears the risk of virtually undermining the object that is being depicted. Nevertheless, the pinhole is controlled very effectively and the photographer merely suggests its formalistic peculiarity without any emphasis that could absorb the viewer's interest. Depiction of specific places profits through the antithesis created by the pure and tangible image as opposed to its hazy and solitary rendering. These photographs turn into waves generated from a sea of images, which preexist in our subconscious and seem familiar although unknown. His use of the camera is not to render what we think we know, but to tell us about what we think we don't see.
