Chloé Kritharas Devienne is a Greek-French photographer whose work is characterised by an ambivalence between photojournalism and romanesque frescoes. Whether she is photographing a traditional carnival on the Greek island of Serifos, migrants’ camps, demonstrations in Athens or even gipsy weddings, she succeeds in capturing the eyes of the people she photographs with sincerity and dignity. Chloé Kritharas Devienne is fascinated by faces, expressions and looks. It is an aspiration she honours in her latest project: Anthropo. it is a series of black and white portraits which are presented as diptychs. These images comprise a multitude of faces and are food for thought to extol the harmony of human beings in their greatest diversity.
