ANGST, Christos Chryssopoulos
"Angst", reading with simultaneous video projection by Christos Chrissopoulos, presented in the exhibition “A collection of Painful Art” at the Artwall Project Space.
"Literature has to deal with anguish": following this conviction expressed by Georges Bataille in his only television interview to Pierre Dumayet in 1957, Christos Chrissopoulos is self-athologized creating a narrative territory inhabited by an isolated consciousness of ephemerality.
Christos Chrissopoulos (Athens, 1968) works on literature and photography. His photographic work explores the relationship between images and narrative. He has been awarded with the Prize Academy of Athens (2008) and French awards Prix Laure Bataillon (2014), Prix Ravachol (2013) and the International Balkanika Award (2015). He is a member of the European Cultural Parliament (ECP).
He collaborates regularly with the Artwall Project Space and has had exhibitions -among others- in the Museum Alex Mylona (Athens). MUCEM (Marseille), Piraeus Municipal Theatre, Musee d'Histoire de Bretagne (Nantes).

The Artwall Project Space was initiated in July 2012 as a result of collaboration between the Fresh Hotel Athens and CHEAPART. The aim of the Artwall was to showcase contemporary art and become a catalyst for discussion and collaboration among artists and art professionals. The Artwall's program was designed and implemented (2012-2017) by Fotini Kapiris, artist and curator, to meet requirements and standards of contemporary artistic production.
