Event Details
Greek street photographer Lukas Vasilikos returns to Athens with his solo exhibition “Six Degrees of Separation”, on view at NK Gallery in Gazi from October 31 to November 8, 2026.
How close are the strangers we pass on the street? Vasilikos uses urban encounters and small human gestures to examine the distance between people, and the connections that often remain unnoticed.
Street photography and invisible human connections
The title refers to the theory of six degrees of separation: the idea that any two people can be connected through a short chain of acquaintances. For Vasilikos, this becomes a way of exploring the familiar and unfamiliar, closeness and estrangement, through street photography.
“Six Degrees of Separation” is also the title of his photobook, published by Eyeshot Magazine in 2022 with a foreword by Iraklis Papaioannou. The exhibition takes this subject off the printed page and into the gallery, where photographs can form different relationships with each other and their viewers.
Lukas Vasilikos has built his practice around observing people in public spaces as well as more personal inquiries. His engagement with the Greek photography community also includes a presentation at the Thessaloniki Photography Centre.

What we think
Street photography often encourages us to look for a decisive moment. What is compelling in Vasilikos’s approach is also what remains unresolved: body language, a small gesture, or the distance between two people. His images leave space for viewers to make their own connections.
Moving a photobook into an exhibition becomes meaningful when the sequence and scale of its images create new relationships. For street photographers, this offers an opportunity to consider how a personal vision can extend beyond a collection of individually striking pictures.
