Jan Windszus – Greece
It takes the soul to quest for the real Greece beyond the trite clichés that trivialise the country. During four trips lasting months along the coast of the European “Orient”, the young Berlin photographer Jan Windszus, explored the Greek way of life – with empathy, tranquility and sensibility. The images he captured in the Aegean, in Attica, Thessaly, on the Peloponnese and Ionian Islands of people and landscapes in all their delightful beauty are a tribute to all that we admire about Greece and its people: their delight in simplicity, their wise serenity vis-á-vis the pressures of modernity, their strength and profundity, their extraordinary ability to sense and think with their feelings.
Born in 1976, Jan Windszus studied photography at the Hochschule für angewandte Wissenschaft und Kunst (HAWK)* in Hildesheim/Germany. Since 2005 he lives and works as a freelance photographer in Berlin, but travels the world for his reportages and portraits. mare published his photobook “Lissabon” (Lisbon) in 2013. For his series “Griechenland” (Greece), he toured the coastline of Greece.
