The Creative Photograph in Archaeology

The Creative Photograph in Archaeology, is an exhibition that brought together, for the first time, new ways of seeing archaeological sites, monuments and sculpture, from the invention of photography to the present day. The work of such influential photographers such as Robertson, Konstantinou, Stillman, Boissonnas, Hege, List, Hellner and Mavrommatis show commonalities in the representation of antiquities, and suggests a new way of seeing beyond the obvious, revealing the creative presence of the photographer. The exhibition was curated by Costis Antoniadis and was organized by Socratis Mavrommatis and the Benaki Museum in Athens, in collaboration with Fairfield University.
