CHRISTOS NIKOLAIDIS ARISTOTELOUS SQUARED University Of Macedonia Exhibition Hall ARISTOTELOUS SQUARED "this world so small, so great!'" (Odysseas Elytis) "Self-likeness is symmetry encountered on every scale. It means recurrence, form within form, …values and rivers appeared similar to themselves, not only because of the appearance of details on increasingly smaller scales, but because these appeared at a steady rate" (Chaos: A New Science, James Gleick, p. 145) ... the exhibition photographs the small world of one section of Aristotelous as part of the greater world of the city square, the city, the land, the wide world. Images reflect genuine perceptions of the reality of life: matter and spirit, movement and immobility, convergence and divergence, logic and sentiment, acceptance and reaction, prosperity and need, beginning and end, order and disorder… Christos Nikolaidis is an Assistant Professor of Strategic Management and Organisation (culture) at the University of Macedonia. An active amateur photographer since 1981, his work has been exhibited in a number of shows: "Great Britain: People and Places"; Photosynkyria 1995, "People and Parks", group exhibition organised by the Thessaloniki Photography Club for the celebration of Thessaloniki's year as Cultural Capital of Europe 1997; and "Covent Garden Presents", British Council 1997.
