A prince of Greece reclaims his land in photographs with Toronto show ‘Resilience’
The camera that started it all for Prince Nikolaos. Gifted to him when he was 13, maybe 12, by his parents,and Queen Anne-Marie . A gizmo that spurred a lifelong passion for photography, wavered a tad when digital became a thing, but is back in full force, as made manifest by the exhibition of his work that just opened in Toronto.
“Resilience,” the 53-year-old second-born son then enunciated in a kind of transatlantic burr that rings of his birth in Rome, years in London, schooling at Brown University. Indeed, I do myself detect a kind of ambassadorship at play in his work: a prince reclaiming his land. Albeit, in the manner of a deconstructionist. Something that took on even greater import when he was chosen to represent his country in the Greek Pavilion at the London Design Biennale in 2021 at Somerset House. This, after his debut solo show, “Phos: A Journey of Light,” held in Melbourne in 2018. Since then, he has exhibited in cities ranging from Copenhagen to Doha.
“I have a theory,” he hit back. “Particularly in the more spring/summer, sometimes autumn, months, we have a north wind that clears up all the clouds. That north wind comes all the way down from Russia, so it is completely dry. No humidity. It is just incredible.”
