Event Details
Natassa Kouri’s solo photography exhibition “The touch of time” opens the new NK Gallery in Gazi on September 26, 2026, focusing on memory, decay and the traces left by time.
NK Gallery officially begins its activities in Athens with Natassa Kouri’s solo exhibition, which will run from September 26 to October 11, 2026, with free admission. The opening is scheduled for Saturday, September 26, from 7:30 pm to 10:00 pm, at 39 Vasileiou tou Megalou Street in Gazi.
The exhibition is significant not only as a new solo presentation of photographic work, but also because it marks the launch of a new venue dedicated to contemporary photography and art in Athens. NK Gallery states that it aims to host photography and visual art exhibitions, artistic gatherings and creators with a distinctive artistic perspective.
Memory and decay at the centre
“The touch of time” examines the way time leaves traces on the human body, on objects and on relationships. The exhibition’s approach is built around both individual photographs and diptychs, which act as connections between different moments, experiences and memories.
According to the exhibition presentation, Natassa Kouri seeks to bring personal experience into contact with collective memory. Time is therefore approached not simply as physical deterioration, but as something that changes the way people remember individuals, objects and events.
The use of diptychs is particularly well suited to this theme, allowing two photographs to coexist not necessarily as consecutive moments, but as images that acquire new meaning through their relationship with one another.
NK Gallery makes its debut in Athens
The exhibition has a dual role, as it also marks the opening of NK Gallery. The new venue is located in Gazi, an area of Athens that has long been home to cultural venues, creative studios and artistic activity.
The Gallery is presented as a space for contemporary photography and art, with the stated intention of extending beyond photography exhibitions to include visual art shows and gatherings of creators. “The touch of time” therefore offers the first indication of the direction the new venue intends to follow.
Natassa Kouri’s presence in the photography community
Natassa Kouri also maintains a presence on international photography platforms. She has a profile on LensCulture and is also listed in the portfolio of members of the international photography community Moments Collective.
The new exhibition, however, carries additional significance because of its connection with the launch of NK Gallery: the photographer is not simply presenting a new body of work, as her exhibition becomes the first show of a space that aims to establish an ongoing presence in Athens’ photographic and visual arts scene.
Dates, opening hours and admission
The opening of “The touch of time” will take place on Saturday, September 26, 2026, from 7:30 pm to 10:00 pm.
The exhibition will remain open until October 11, 2026, at NK Gallery, 39 Vasileiou tou Megalou Street, Gazi, Athens.

What we think
What makes “The touch of time” particularly interesting is the combination of two elements: an exhibition with a clear and enduring photographic theme and the birth of a new art space in Athens. The themes of memory and decay give the exhibition room for a more personal and narrative approach, while the future programme of NK Gallery after this inaugural event will show what position it can establish within contemporary Greek photography.
