Artist Tour with Stelios Kallinikou

Cliffs Among Dreams

Dreamers bay, 2026 – Fotografie des Meeres bei Dämmerung, rosa-violette Wolken und Mond am Himmel, Felsen vor der Bucht

In his work, Cypriot artist Stelios Kallinikou (b. 1985) explores the Akrotiri peninsula in southern Cyprus. For more than a decade, he has photographed and filmed a region where ecological diversity and military use are closely intertwined. Akrotiri is a British Sovereign Base Area that still hosts a Royal Air Force base. It is also home to the Akrotiri Salt Lake, the island’s largest natural inland lake and a major wetland for migratory birds. Kallinikou’s photographs reveal the coexistence of wildlife and military infrastructure, showing how the base shapes the ways Akrotiri can be seen, entered, and understood. 

Join Stelios Kallinikou and curator Katharina Täschner on a tour of the exhibition and gain firsthand insights and background information on the work and the exhibition’s concept. 

 

Stelios Kallinikou (b. 1985, Cyprus) works with photography, video, and sound. His practice explores how political and ideological forces shape ideas of territory, landscape, and the body, engaging with themes of colonialism, ecology, technology, spirituality, and the power of images. He has exhibited internationally at institutions including de Appel, Amsterdam; Kunsthalle Baden-Baden; the Ural Industrial Biennial; Foam, Amsterdam; NiMAC, Nicosia; and the Benaki Museum, Athens. From 2018 to 2019, he was a resident at Künstlerhaus Bethanien in Berlin and received the Foam Talent Award in 2019. He is also a co-founder of Thkio Ppalies Project Space in Nicosia.
