Kostis Fokas photographs are vividly realistic and sensual. They seem to be alive while still managing to stay surreal and depict more than just a human body; they convey a liberating feeling of freedom that motivates viewers to reveal their true essence without fear of being judged.
“Through my photos I wish to present a new take on the human body and explore its infinite capabilities. The use of quirky, and sometimes hidden faces communicates exactly that.”
Fokas’ deformation is a tool for his exploration of the human body, often depicting models without a face, transforming them into alien-like creatures or bizarre landscape objects. “Unlike photography that seeks to reveal the feelings of the objects portrayed through the use of faces and expressions, I shift my focus on the complete freedom pertained to the image of the human body.”
I can respond to Kostis Fokas by using his idea of 'liberating feeling of freedom' as it relates to promiscuity in the sense that people are promiscuous behind closed doors and it is almost like their escape. I like his idea of hidden faces and instead an exploration of the human body. This makes the image more interesting and I can link the hidden faces to violation of privacy with an increased contrast so that you won't be able to tell who it is. I love how he portrays the human body and would like to interpret this into my own work. I will do this when creating my 'fake orgy'.
