The Art Foundation in Athens, Greece presents the photography exhibition INK – The Tattoo Project by Pantelis Zervos and Ilias Anastasiadis of lightroom Projects in collaboration with Taf which will run from January 20 to February 13, 2011.

The exhibition explores aspects and meanings of tattoo, as they are depicted in about 200 diptych photographic portraits.

The social reception and connotations of tattoo have been considerably differentiated throughout the years. INK – The Tattoo Project focuses in tattoo as narration of personal stories, transmission of messages, relation of conflict, transition and acceptance of oneself and the social environment. The exhibition presents photographs of tattoos in correlation with the portraits of their owner, and invites spectators to observe, compare the documentations, decode this visual and bodily code of communication, and to form their own interpretations.
