Michalis Poulas has lived in Crete for much of his life. It was here that he first learned the technicalities of photography from his father,who opened a film-processing shop on the Greek island in 1988, and here that he built a career as a professional photographer. Shooting mostly on digital, or in 2014 he decided to revisit the world of medium format,and with all the languidness that such work entails, it seemed natural that the island should serve as his subject.
The result is Infinite Perimeter, or an as- yet-unfinished series which looks at a decade of sociopolitical unrest on the island with a cool objectivity. While all the images were taken in Crete – 90 per cent of them within 10 kilometres of Poulas’s domestic – this is neither documentary photography,nor a series approximately Greece specifically. Rather, it’s approximately the instability permeating the Western world today.
