About the art project Antanaklasis: A painter, an architect and a musician tried to trap among these ruins various idols, reflections and images of a strange fairy tale. In this work, which is nothing more than the photographic, typographical and audio recording of a real event, there is a chain that unites three artists, just as it unites them in the real, physical work, which is the intervention in the abandoned village of Monastria on the Cycladic island of Tinos. So there is a natural model which is the deserted village. There is the photographic recording of some phenomena that emerge thanks to the gaze of the architect-photographer. There is the intervention of the painter on the photographs, with the aim of turning them into small works of art, related to the final work. There is the recorded music, specially composed to complement the necessary multiplicity of the venture.
Costas Tsoclis (Greek: Κώστας Τσόκλης Kostas Tsoklis, born 1930 in Athens) is a Greek painter and multimedia artist.
Tsoclis was born in Athens in 1930. He studied from 1948 to 1954 at the Athens School of Fine Arts under Yannis Moralis. With a scholarship from the State Scholarships Foundation, he lived in Rome from 1957 to 1960. Tsoclis lived in Paris until 1970. He spent 1971 to 1972 in Berlin with a scholarship from the DAAD. He lived in Paris and Athens until 1983, returning to his Greek homeland in 1984. Costas Tsoclis became internationally known with the series objects-situations, which he produced between 1967 and 1972, and later with three-dimensional paintings and living paintings in which videos are projected onto painted canvas. The Costas Tsoclis Museum on Tinos was opened in 2011.
