Event Details
Six personal perspectives on the relationship between photography and truth come together in PostTruth, an exhibition by Spam PhotoCollective at MatchPoint in Athens from 7 to 15 November 2026, with free admission.
Curated by Eva Katsaiti, the exhibition opens on Saturday 7 November at 18:00. Its starting point is a familiar photographic decision: what we keep inside the frame and what we leave out.
One frame, many versions of reality
PostTruth approaches photography as the selection of a moment and a point of view. The photographer decides where to stand and where to direct the lens; the viewer then brings their own experience to the reading of the image. The six participants begin with this shared question while retaining distinct forms of expression.
Spam PhotoCollective does not seek a uniform aesthetic among its members. It encourages experimentation and personal exploration, aiming for images that spark discussion and stay in the memory. SPAM takes its name from Shoot, Provoke, Amaze, Move.
The question of selection also has a tangible side: in the Pera Museum exhibition on Istanbul’s press photography archive, adjacent frames and alterations to negatives reveal the process behind a published photograph. PostTruth takes the individual perspectives of its six artists as its starting point.
The six photographers
Eva Katsaiti is an artist and academic specialising in photography and gender narratives. She is a lecturer at the University of West Attica, serves on its Gender Equality Committee and has shown work in more than thirty exhibitions in Greece and abroad. She has also been a visiting professor at the universities of Lapland and Jyväskylä.
Giannis Myrmigiannis is based in Athens and works across street photography, reportage, and urban and natural landscapes. Using digital medium format cameras, he makes images shaped by both observation and chance.
Panagiotis Pitsoulis has been involved in photography for fourteen years. He approaches it as a means of observation and experimentation, and as a form of communication through which personal concerns can take on a collective dimension.
Nikos Sotiropoulos began his relationship with images as a cinema audience member before turning to photography. For him, releasing the shutter marks the start of an exploration of a creative space filled with emotion.
Sylvia Tsouramani is a practising architect whose relationship with photography began during her student years. She has worked systematically with fine art photography since 2017, exploring the moment when an image begins to suggest something that may have existed, been lost or never happened at all.
Stelios Charalampakis has participated in group exhibitions since 2010 and received recognition in the Sony World Photography Awards, Huawei Next-Image and IPA Awards. He photographs details of everyday life and also views the photographic process as a form of self-therapy.

What we think
We are interested in the group’s decision to preserve distinct photographic voices around a shared question. For anyone making images, that comparison has practical value: an everyday object, a blurred human presence or a landscape each draws attention to different things. This is already visible in the exhibition material, where direct depictions sit alongside more ambiguous images.
We would visit with a specific question in mind: how much does our reading of a photograph change when we see it alongside the artist’s other images? Selection and sequencing are decisions we make in our own work, too. A group exhibition bringing together six approaches offers a useful opportunity to reconsider those choices in front of actual works.
