Photographic fieldwork, Greece

Created and curated by

George Tatakis

My Greece Atlas is built from George Tatakis’s long-term photographic fieldwork across Greece.

Its first layers grow from two major bodies of work: Ethos, centred on ritual and communal tradition, and Caryatis, centred on regional dress, identity and cultural continuity.

The atlas turns that work into a navigable form — connecting image, place, time and context.
