Fokion Zissiadis - Böcker

Greenland is an unfamiliar world for most people–Fokion Zissiadis sets out to change this in his fantastic book of photographs. He shows the country and its people, its flora and fauna in impressive images, and these in turn reflect how deeply passionate he is about the Far North, especially the vast, icy beauty of winter.His photographs are accompanied by a very personal interview, in which Fokion Zissiadis describes how and why Greenland became his focus, and why he initially approached the endeavor a bit too casually. He draws our attention to the indigenous population, but also to the dangers Greenland’s environment is facing.

In his new photo book, Fokion Zissiadis takes us on a visual journey through fascinating Morocco. Following his impressive publications on Iceland, Vietnam, and Greenland, he now presents an authentic and holistic view of a country that harmoniously combines scenic landscapes, rich history, and traditions.The book, splendidly equipped with a high-quality linen cover and exquisite paper change, not only offers fascinating content, but is also presented in a generous XXL format – a true work of art for any coffee table. Through exceptional photography, Zissiadis captures the ephemeral beauty of the historic ruins of Volubilis, the imposing colours of the “Blue City” of Chefchaouen and the vibrant dynamics of the markets in Fez, Had Draa and Rissani, among others.Zissiadis has developed a remarkable sense of space and aesthetics through his architectural studies in Philadelphia. In Morocco, he succeeds in sensitively depicting the country's contrasts - from the tranquility of the desert to the vibrant atmosphere of the cities. His respectful approach to people and cultures lends this illustrated book a special authenticity.Experience the diversity and richness of Morocco through the lens of an artist dedicated to adventurous travel and true-to-life photography. This work is more than just an illustrated book - it is an invitation to capture the spirit of Morocco.
