Drowning in flames

Every encounter in life carries a hint of departure—an inner sense of death. Photography, by freezing time, captures this transience; each image becomes a gaze into the eyes of loss. For me, a burning structure powerfully symbolizes this idea.

About Artist

Odysseas Tsompanoglou

Odysseas Tsompanoglou is a Greek visual artist based in the Netherlands whose practice investigates loss, melancholy, and forms of collective healing through photography as a shared, participatory process. Favoring Instax and point-and-shoot cameras for their immediacy and creative limitations, he uses collaboration to unsettle conventional ideas of authorship and to open philosophical inquiries into truth, architecture as political instrument, tourism’s impact on identity, and the spectacle of contemporary life. Currently pursuing his master’s degree in Photography & Society at the Royal Academy of Art, The Hague (KABK) and participating in the Yogurt Lab, Tsompanoglou’s work evolves through public dialogue, aiming to transform photographic encounters into accessible and socially engaged experiences.
